AMERF and SSMU agree with medical education programs in Uzbekistan

  • Atinga Moirangcha Educational & Research Foundation (AMERF) has entered into an agreement with Samarkand State Medical University (SSMU) in Uzbekistan. The partnership aims to enable Indian medical students to pursue MBBS studies in a globally recognized institution. This collaboration not only ensures high-quality medical education but also provides a culturally enriching experience in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Samarkand.

    Established in 1930, Samarkand State Medical University (SSMU) boasts a robust 93-year history in nurturing competent and devoted medical professionals. With a current enrollment of over 1500 Indian students, the institution has become a favoured choice among Indian aspirants. Recognizing the cultural affinity between Northeast India and Uzbekistan, AMERF actively supports students from the region in their educational pursuits. One notable aspect of SSMU is its affordability, with a semester costing a mere $1600, presenting a cost-effective option for Indian students compared to other international alternatives. Dr. Atom Sunil, spearheading the initiative alongside Dr. Sunil Sharma, Director of MD House, and Joychand Moirangthem, AMERF's Director of MBBS Abroad, are dedicated to guiding students throughout the entire process, bridging the gap between aspirations and opportunities.

    SSMU's comprehensive six-year MBBS program is conducted entirely in English, adhering to international standards and encompassing essential subjects crucial for success in the medical field. The inclusion of Indian faculties across various disciplines further enriches the academic experience. The MD House, SSMU's Liaison office in India, and AMERF collectively play a pivotal role in simplifying the admission process, offering visa assistance, and providing continuous support to students throughout their stay in Samarkand. This collaborative effort, ranging from accommodation guidance to addressing inquiries, ensures a seamless transition for students. This partnership presents a promising opportunity for Indian students seeking an affordable, high-quality, and culturally immersive MBBS experience abroad. Opting for SSMU grants students access to top-notch education, global recognition, cost-effectiveness, practical exposure, and unwavering support throughout their academic journey.
