Our University was established as a pioneering academic institution that combines excellence in education with international collaboration, contributing to the advancement of medical education and scientific research in Iraq.

The establishment of this international branch is the result of a distinguished academic partnership with Tehran University of Medical Sciences, one of the leading institutions in medical and health sciences.
