The Odesa National Medical University (Ukrainian: Одеський національний медичний університет, romanized: Odeskyi natsionalnyi medychnyi universytet) is a renowned government university in the city of Odesa, Ukraine.

History

The institution started in 1900 as the medical faculty of the Novorossiyskiy State University in Odessa. The medical faculty soon became one of the most prestigious medical faculties in the Russian Empire. Many famous medical scientists, including Nobel laureate and professor I. I. Mechnikov, worked here.

The medical faculty managed to survive the difficult and turbulent period of the early years of the Russian revolution and in 1922 it was transformed into the independent and autonomous Odesa State Medical Institute. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became Odesa State Medical University in an independent Ukrainian Republic.
