This article examines the history of the Rostov State Medical University complex in Rostov-on-Don, both as a hospital and as a higher education institution. In 1890, the foundation stone of the Nikolaevskaya Hospital, which stood on this site, was laid, and in 1915, it became the home of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Warsaw. Today, the university continues to expand: new buildings are being built, and specialized research institutes are being established within them. The collaboration of practicing specialists and researchers facilitates the introduction of new treatment methods and improves the quality of education for students, who can gain not only theoretical but also practical knowledge.
