XX years anniversary of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Kazan Medical University

The opening in 1975 at the Kazan Medical Institute of the Faculty of Pharmacy was determined by the urgent need of practical pharmacy of the Republic of Tatarstan for highly qualified personnel. In addition, the presence in the region of a number of institutes and enterprises of the chemical profile, as well as the historically established pharmacological school, the scientific activity of which made it possible to search for highly effective substances among the products of chemical synthesis, was taken into account. An important condition for the introduction of new drugs into medical practice is the development of their dosage forms with regulatory and technical documentation. A positive decision on the organization of the Faculty of Pharmacy was also facilitated by the presence in Kazan of a large chemical-pharmaceutical plant, which for many years served as the base for educational practice on the factory technology of drugs for students of a number of institutes.
