Dear Colleagues …… Dear Students,
Welcome to the new academic year, in which we will
work so hard to fulfill our new strategy in all the fields
including the academic work, postgraduate studies, scientific
research, teaching, environmental service and social
development, and students' activities.
The most important purpose of this strategy is to achieve
educational, cultural and research development, as we always
seek continuous progress in all fields according to accurate
plans which cope with the new variable and quality standards.
We are entitled to fulfill a certain mission which is
reaching the furthest possible point in the development process
during the coming few years. This will only be achieved with a
definite strategy that depends on advanced teaching skills,
research scientific methodology, technical performance in
management, and above all developing the teaching staff and
administrators' skills in order to bring about advanced students
on the academic, behavioral and skills levels.
As we try our best to place Cairo University in its
deserved position internationally, we believe in our
administrative vision and possibilities. In addition, we believe
in our ability to fulfill our ambitious dreams of achieving a
bright future for this ancient university.
Since we aspire to the future of our university, we have a
lot of work to do and we expect all the faculties to fulfill its
complete duties this year. We expect them to do their intended
job in developing the students' characters, enhancing their
intellectual capabilities and enlightening them about both their
society and the development process, whether developing their
6

nation, or their personal abilities. In addition to the role of
these faculties in spreading the cultural, political and technical
awareness among the students.
The continuation of Cairo University leadership during
the coming period depends on the permanence of the
development and modernization process to suit the national
and international variables. Consequently Cairo University
aims at maintaining continuous development which makes it a
pioneer during its present and promising future, depending on
the possibility of gratifying the needs of the Egyptian and
Arabic society of educational and research services which add
to the people and the society.
Finally, best wishes to all our colleagues from the

HISTORY OF THE FACULTY
March 11 th , 1827 witnessed the inauguration of the school of
medicine at Abou Zaabal as a 6 year study program on assembly of the
Paris Medical School. In 1832, Clot Bye sent the distinguished 12
graduates to Paris to complete their studies by the greatest medical
professors in France. On returning, they would be the first nucleus of the
Egyptian medical academic staff. By the year 1837, the number of
graduates reached 430 doctors. It was out of a desire for expansion that
the school of medicine was moved from Abou Zaabal to Kasr El-Ainy,
where the faculty currently functions as the oldest School of Medicine in
Egypt. This building dates to 1466 for Ahmed Ibn El-Aini the older son
of El-Sultan Khoshqadam in 1882.
Historical Highlights:
• In 1882, the directorship of Kasr El-Ainy School was accorded to
Prof. Eisa Hamdy Pasha. The school was rebuilt to accommodate 500
students. In 1885, the doors of the outpatient clinic were reopened to
the public.
• In 1898, Dr. Keating, the professor of Anatomy, was appointed the
president of the school.
• In 1925, the school of medicine was incorporated into the Egyptian
university and was called the Faculty of Medicine and a school of
dentistry was attached to it.
• In 1927, it was decided that a new hospital with 1200 beds and a new
modern medical school should be established. King Fouad laid the
foundation of the new faculty and its hospital on December 16 th 1928.
9

• In 1929, Kasr El-Ainy Council elected Aly Pasha Ibrahim as a dean of
the faculty and director of Kasr El-Ainy.
• 1940, the Faculty of Medicine of Alexandria University was
established under supervision of Kasr El-Ainy, then followed the Ain
Shams Faulty of Medicine in 1950.
• In 1955, the schools of Pharmacy as well as dentistry were turned to
Faculties. Then the high institute of nursing was established.
• In 1959, the Oncology Institute was established inside the faculty till
to later separate.
• The advancement and expansion continued throughout the following
years by establishing different units that are scientifically
distinguished as well as technically equipped with the latest modern
instruments and devices.
• At present time, the Cairo University hospitals affiliated to The
Faculty of Medicine comprise more than 5200 beds constituting the
largest medical institution in the Middle East and probably one of the
largest centers in the world.
• Kasr El-Ainy is considered a symbol of the medical profession in
Egypt, a stronghold of science and culture and a towering image of
human mercy. Hence the founding date of Kasr El-Ainy on 11 March
1827 was appointed as the day of the annual festival for the Egyptian
Medical profession.
