HISTORY OF THE FACULTY

March 11
th
, 1827 witnessed the inauguration of the School of
Medicine at Abou Zaabal as a 6-year study program on assembly of the
Paris Medical School. In 1832, Clot Bye sent the distinguished 12
graduates to Paris to complete their studies by the greatest medical
professors in France. On returning, they would be the first nucleus of the
Egyptian medical academic staff. By the year 1837, the number of
graduates reached 430 doctors. It was out of a desire for expansion that
the School of Medicine was moved from Abou Zaabal to Kasr El-Ainy,
where the faculty currently functions as the oldest School of Medicine in
Egypt. This building dates to 1466 for Ahmed Ibn El-Aini the older son
of El-Sultan Khoshqadam in 1882.

Historical Highlights:
In 1882, the directorship of Kasr El-Ainy School was accorded to
Prof. Eisa Hamdy Pasha. The school was rebuilt to accommodate 500
students. In 1885, the doors of the outpatient clinic were reopened to
the public.
In 1898, Dr. Keating, the professor of Anatomy, was appointed the
president of the school.
In 1925, the School of Medicine was incorporated into the Egyptian
university and was called the Faculty of Medicine and a school of
dentistry was attached to it.
In 1927, it was decided that a new hospital with 1200 beds and a new
modern medical school should be established. King Fouad laid the
foundation of the new faculty and its hospital on December 16
th
1928.

10
In 1929, Kasr El-Ainy Council elected Aly Pasha Ibrahim as a dean of
the faculty and director of Kasr El-Ainy.
In 1940, the Faculty of Medicine of Alexandria University was
established under supervision of Kasr El-Ainy, then followed the Ain
Shams Faulty of Medicine in 1950.
In 1955, the schools of Pharmacy as well as dentistry were turned to
Faculties. Then the High Institute of Nursing was established.
In 1959, the Oncology Institute was established inside the faculty till
to later separate.
The advancement and expansion continued throughout the following
years by establishing different units that are scientifically
distinguished as well as technically equipped with the latest modern
instruments and devices.
At present time, the Cairo University hospitals affiliated to The
Faculty of Medicine comprise more than 5200 beds constituting the
largest medical institution in the Middle East and probably one of the
largest centers in the world.
Kasr El-Ainy is considered a symbol of the medical profession in
Egypt, a stronghold of science and culture and a towering image of
human mercy. Hence the founding date of Kasr El-Ainy on 11 March
1827 was appointed as the day of the annual festival for the Egyptian
Medical profession.
