Excellent and high-quality research has made us what we are today -У one of the leading medical universities in the world. Our success is based on the ‘triple track’ strategy. Research, education and patient care represent the three cornerstones of the University’s system. This enables medical science to respond flexibly to the continually changing demands of both state and society. In the process, maintenance of health as well as therapy, abatement of symptoms and prevention of diseases stand in the foreground.
