The
school
of
medicine
was
inaugurated
in
1827
as
a
6-year
study
program
in
assembly
of
the
Paris
Medical
School.
The
French
doctor,
Clot
Bey,
served
as
the
president
of
the
school.
In
1837,
the
School
of
Medicine
was
moved
from
the
Abou
Zaabal
suburb
of
Cairo
to
Garden
City
in
1837.
This
new
site
was
preferred
not
only
because
it
could
accommodate
over
9000
beds
and
300
students
(at
that
time),
but
also
because
it
was
situated
at
the
heart
of
Cairo,
compared
to
the
Abou
Zaabal
suburb,
which
lies
on
the
outskirts
of
the
Egyptian
capital.
That
same
year,
the
number
of
graduates
had
reached
430
doctors.
Until
1848,
the
faculty
of
medicine
had
graduated
800
doctors.
When
Abbas
Pasha
(Arabic:
????
????)
came
to
rule
Egypt,
he
tried
to
demolish
all
that
was
French
following
the
British
councillor's
advice.
As
a
result,
Clot
Bey
resigned
in
1849
and
was
succeeded
by
Dr.
Duvigneau,
followed
by
Peron
Bey
and
then
Shafi
Bey,
who
was
the
first
Egyptian
president
of
the
school.
When
Khedive
Ismail
came
to
rule,
the
school
again
progressed
rapidly
by
appointing
its
second
Egyptian
director
Mohamed
Ali
El-Bakli
Pasha.
In
1925,
the
school
of
medicine
was
incorporated
into
the
Egyptian
university
and
was
named
the
"Faculty
of
Medicine".
The
faculty
was
ready
for
graduating
doctors
with
the
degree
of
Bachelor
of
Arts
in
medicine
and
surgery,
after
a
study
period
of
five
and
a
half
years.
The
faculty
was
now
capable
of
granting
a
doctorate
in
medicine.
In
1927,
it
was
decided
that
a
new
hospital
consisting
of
1200
beds
and
a
modern
medical
school
should
be
established.
King
Fouad
laid
the
foundation
of
the
new
faculty
and
its
hospital
on
December
16,
1928.
The
advancement
and
expansion
continued
throughout
the
following
years
by
establishing
different
units
that
were
both
scientifically
distinguished
and
technically
equipped
with
the
latest
modern
instruments
and
devices.
