== History ==
The development of medical education system in our country began from the foundation of medical university in Alma-Ata in 1931. However the university couldn’t satisfy a growing need of the country in healthcare personnel. For which reason the republican bodies and health care people's commissariat [[Soviet Union|USSR]] were taken up the matter with the necessity of medical university establishment in Karaganda city which became a regional center with the population of 196 thousand more people in 1940. But the Great Patriotic War changed plans and establishment of the Karaganda medical institute was reconsidered only in 1947 when the Karaganda regional health care department proposed to the Ministry of Health of the Soviet Union the opening of university in the mining capital. The resolution of the Council of Ministers on 16 November 1947 obliged to move to Karaganda the "one of the acting medical institutions". The order of Chairman of the [[Soviet Union|USSR]] Council of Ministers of the 5th December, 1949 has been issued indicating “ to oblige the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR and the USSR Ministry of Health to move from the liquidated [[Kazan (Volga region) Federal University|Kazan dental institute]] to [[Karaganda]] medical institute professors, teachers and students who graduated the first course”. The director of the institute was appointed a physician Peter Moiseevich Pospelov.
