Ain Shams University, Faculty of Medicine or School of Medicine, is a public Egyptian graduate school and one of the faculties of Ain Shams University. Now, it is one of the largest educational medical institutions in Africa and the Middle East. It was founded in 1947, making it the third oldest medical school in Egypt. It has promoted numerous programs of medical care to serve society, in addition to environmental development and continuous scientific research for local and international health.

It became part of Ain Shams University in 1950, when it was established after adding several faculty members.[4] [5] Each year, the faculty's different departments hold conferences dedicated to the recent advances in medical science.

History

The school of medicine was called el-Demerdash School of Medicine, before establishment of the university. The original El-Demerdash Hospital was established on August 5, 1928, by a generous grant from El-Demerdash Pasha[6] and his wife and daughter. It was built on 12,400 square metres, and had 90 beds and the following sections: quarters for a resident physician and chief nurse, two wards, a surgery unit, out-patient clinic, a laboratory, kitchen, laundry room, isolation ward, an autopsy department and a mosque containing the mausoleum for the El-Demerdash family. The foundation of the hospital was witnessed by many people representing all the society of Egypt and also by the two most powerful figures in the country in that time: Lord George Lloyd (later on George Lloyd, 1st Baron Lloyd), the British high commissioner, and Prime Minister of Egypt Mohamed Mahmoud Pasha. The opening ceremony was covered by Al Ahram, The Times and the Near East journals.[6] It was officially opened on May 5, 1931. A memorial metallic plate and a marble monument were erected to mark this event.

The translation of the metallic plate is:

Ain Shams University, as the third Egyptian university, was founded in July 1950 under the name of "Ibrahim Pasha University". It participated with the two earlier universities (Cairo University - then named Fua'd the 1st - and Alexandria University - then named Farouk the 1st) in fulfilling the message of universities and meeting the increasing demand of youth for higher education. When it was first established, Ain Shams University comprised a number of distinguished faculties and academic institutes, which were later developed into university. After the revolution of July 23, 1952, it was suggested that Egyptian universities be given names that were strongly linked with the roots and historical landmarks of the country. Thus on February 21, 1954, the name of the university was changed to "Heliopolis" ("City of the Sun"), and then changed in the same year to its present name "Ain Shams" ("Eye of the Sun").[7]
