History of the department

The Department of Emergency Pediatrics, Disaster Medicine was founded in 1992 on the recommendation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan by the decision of the Academic Council of the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute

Prerequisites for the creation and opening of the department

From 1989 to 1991, groups of pediatricians were sent to Uzbekistan under the program of the USSR Children’s Fund to combat the high level of child mortality. Among the specialists were pediatric resuscitators, pediatricians, narrow specialists and employees of the Department of “Emergency Pediatrics” of the Leningrad Pediatric Institute. Together with pediatricians of the republic, groups of the Children’s Fund worked in many regions of the republic, which allowed to reduce the infant mortality rate from 46.2 ppm to 37.6 ppm. This work was coordinated by the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan. In 1991, before the closure of this program, the specialists of the Children’s Fund groups recommended opening the Department of “Emergency Pediatrics” as part of the SAMPI (now TashPMI). Therefore, in the spring of 1991, the Ministry of Health of the republic sent the chief pediatrician of the country, Associate Professor Sharipov A.M., to the board of the Ministry of Health of the USSR to explain to the Minister of Health, Academician A.A. Baranov (pediatrician) about the urgent need to provide maternity hospitals with cuvettes and create a department of “Emergency Pediatrics” at SAMPI. After appropriate approvals, starting from the academic year 1992-1993, the Department of “Emergency Pediatrics” began to operate as part of TashPMI. The department was headed by professor, MD Umarova Zukhra Sultanovna, a graduate of the 1st Moscow Medical Institute named after I.M.Sechenov. Professor Umarova Z.S headed the department from 1993 to 2003. From 2003 to 2018, professor Umarova Z.S. was a professor consultant of the department.
