"Pirogov University has historically been and remains a center for the creation of the latest treatment technologies and a place where the development strategy of domestic and world medicine was determined. All the demands that the country and time place on us today are fully consistent with our historical mission. Over the past five years, the University has consistently demonstrated a steady and significant increase in the number of students and educational programs, which is reflected not only in quantitative indicators, but also in quality improvement."
Sergey Lukyanov said that this year Pirogov University took the first place in terms of the quality of education among medical universities in Russia, and the tenth in the overall ranking of the country. In addition, the University has ensured a steady increase in the number of students and an expansion of the range of educational programs, including in genetics, cellular technologies and fundamental medicine.
