Hyderabad, July 26, 2024: Media Plus Advertising & Public Relations is proud to announce its role in highlighting the significant collaboration between Apollo MedSkills, Turon Zarmed University, and GVantage to revolutionize medical education in Uzbekistan. This partnership aims to address the rising demand for quality medical education among Indian students, offering a valuable alternative to the competitive medical admissions in India.

“Nearly 2.5 million students compete for admission into just over one lakh medical seats in India, with around 58,000 students traveling abroad last year for medical education,” noted Dr. Srinivas Rao Pulijala, CEO of Apollo MedSkills. This strategic alliance seeks to make quality medical education accessible and affordable for students globally. Turon Zarmed University, a leading private medical institution in Uzbekistan, is now accepting enrollments for its 6-year MBBS program for the September 2024 intake.

Mr. Ghazanfer Ali, Founder of GVantage, emphasized the advantages of Uzbekistan as a favored destination for medical studies in Central Asia. Indian students will benefit from faculty trained by Apollo, Indian culinary options, and access to top-tier medical education infrastructure.

Apollo MedSkills, renowned for its exceptional healthcare skill development programs, will enhance the academic quality at Turon Zarmed University by deploying experienced professors and well-trained medical faculty. Dr. Pulijala expressed confidence in the partnership’s potential to enrich students’ academic experiences and mold them into global medical professionals.

Mr. Dilshod Shukurlaev, Founder and Chairman of Turon Zarmed University, highlighted the university’s commitment to improving education quality. The university, with campuses in Bukhara and Samarkand, can accommodate nearly 1000 Indian students, with plans for a new campus in Tashkent by the next academic year.

Key highlights of the program include faculty recruited and trained by Apollo MedSkills, mess facilities with Indian cooks, an annual academic fee of $6000, and direct enrollment through the admissions office in India. Additionally, the program offers coaching for FMGE (NExT), USMLE, and PLAB, ensuring comprehensive support for students’ medical careers.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in international medical education, providing Indian students with safe, high-quality learning opportunities in Uzbekistan. The collaboration also strengthens medical relations between the two nations, as evidenced by past exchanges of medical supplies and support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
