In 1933, at the request of the Council of People’s Commissars (CPC) of the Tajik SSR in Stalinabad, on the territory of today’s research institute for preventive medicine, a medical institute was founded.
Education at the institute was conducted in Russian and Tajik languages. Anatomy was taught by the only professor in the institute A.V. Tikhonovich and the student Z.P. Khodjaev translated into Tajik. After two years of operation, the university was closed due to the lack of appropriate conditions, in particular, a weak material and technical base, and a shortage of highly qualified teachers.
In 1935, students of the abolished medical institute were transferred to the Tashkent Medical Institute. However, in connection with the ever-growing need for health care, the issue of training medical personnel in the republic itself remained open, requiring urgent solutions.
