Kyrgyzstan State Medical Academy

The Military Faculty of Kyrgyz State Medical Academy was created in the beginning of the Second World War, specifically in October 1941 when there was a shortage of medical personnel in the medical service. Originally it was the Sanitary Department of Defence, and in 1942 it was renamed to the Department of Military and Health Training, and has since 1944 been known as the Department of Military Medical Training. It is currently part of the Armed Forces of the Kyrgyz Republic and engages in the military training of students of medical, pediatric, dental, sanitary and pharmaceutical departments of the armed forces.[citation needed]
