Mashhad University of Medical Sciences

The University of Mashhad was opened in 1949 to fill 바카라사이트 demand for doctors in 바카라사이트 north east of Iran. In 1994, 바카라사이트 medical faculties were separated out from 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s schools and became Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS).

The university offers teaching in seven areas: medicine; dentistry; pharmacy; nursing and midwifery; hygiene; paramedical sciences; and traditional Persian medicine. In total, 8,500 students are enrolled at MUMS, with just under 300 of 바카라사이트m from outside of Iran.

As well as operating over 30 hospitals and 20 health and treatment networks in 바카라사이트 region, MUMS runs 51 research centres, two growth centres and two central research institutes. The university worked with 바카라사이트 World Health Organization (WHO) as part of its Global Health Workforce Alliance. In September 2017, it hosted 바카라사이트 International Congress of Nutrition, featuring contributions from WHO and 바카라사이트 UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).

Mashhad is a centre for tourism in Iran. The biggest attraction for visitors is 바카라사이트 shrine to Imam Reza, one of 바카라사이트 descendants of 바카라사이트 Prophet Muhammed. It is one of 바카라사이트 most significant sites in Shia Islam. The complex stretches to nearly 600,000 square metres, making it one of, if not 바카라사이트, largest mosques in 바카라사이트 world by size. Millions of pilgrims visit Mashhad each year to see 바카라사이트 shrine. In 2017, 바카라사이트 Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation named Mashhad as one of its cultural capitals of 바카라사이트 Muslim world.
