History

Up to the beginning of 1980s, Afghan Medical Schools were under Kabul University and the Ministry of Education. However, after Russian occupation all Medical Schools became under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Health and later on the Ministry of Higher Education.

During the days of the Taliban, women were not allowed to study medicine at Kabul Medical University, not even under the cover of the all-encompassing burqas.

The University of Manitoba's medical school along with other universities helped the Kabul Medical University rebuild their library after the war. They put together a basic collection of 672 medical textbooks.
