What changed: from Tashkent Medical Academy to TSMU
Under a presidential decree reported on 24 April 2025, three institutions were merged into a new Tashkent State Medical University from the 2025-26 academic year: Tashkent Medical Academy, Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute and Tashkent State Dental Institute. Students of the three continue their studies at the new university and receive its diploma (Kun.uz, 24 April 2025).
The same decree made the Academy’s Termez and Chirchiq branches branches of the new university, and its Urgench branch a separate Urgench State Medical Institute.
Earlier versions of this page described Tashkent Medical Academy and listed its fees. That information is out of date and has been removed.

The NMC advisory and TSMU
On 1 April 2026, the NMC issued an advisory for Indian students seeking MBBS admission in Uzbekistan. It named Tashkent State Medical University, Samarkand State Medical University and Bukhara State Medical Institute. The concerns raised were admissions beyond intake capacity, limited hands-on clinical training where English is not the medium, and an offshore campus arrangement linked to TSMU’s Termez branch.
The Embassy of India in Tashkent has said the advisory is precautionary and not a ban. The Haryana Medical Council clarified the same in July 2026, while keeping its separate, earlier advisory against the Chirchiq branch of TSMU (Medbound Times, 11 August 2026).
