📖Introduction
Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy or University of Medicine and Pharmacy Bucharest, commonly known by the abbreviation UMFCD, is a public health sciences university in Bucharest, Romania. It is one of the largest and oldest institutions of its kind in Romania. Bucharest medical and pharmaceutical high education dates for over a century. Carol Davila, a Romanian doctor of French origins, in collaboration with Nicolae Kretzulescu has started the medical education in our country, by forming, in 1857, The National School of Medicine and Pharmacy.
The inauguration of the Palace represents an important date in the evolution of the medical education in Bucharest. The new place has brought great improvements to the functioning of the laboratories, the organizing of the practical works and the entire didactical activity. For a while, it also hosted a part of the Pharmacy section.
🏫About Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy
The construction of the Faculty of Medicine has been completed and inaugurated on October 12th, 1903, the day that Carol Davila’s statue has been inaugurated. The initiative of building a monument for Davila was taken at the first national medical congress, held in Bucharest in October 1884. The statue, valuable work of Carol Stork, was cast in bronze in the studios of the Bucharest School of Arts and Crafts. Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy must proudly remember that the University is named after its founder, the illustrious general, doctor and Romanian pharmacist, of French origin, Carol Davila, who, rightly, can be considered the main pillar of the founding of the School of Romanian medicine. Referring to Carol Davila, his biography and the defining role he played for our University mainly and in Romanian medicine in general and making an arc over time, I am fully convinced that, if in the nineteenth century, the young doctoral student Davila was actively involved in combating and extinguishing the cholera epidemic that broke out in Champagne and Cher -1849, our entire academic community will continue to follow his example of dedication and professionalism, through full involvement in the fight against the 21st century pandemic generated by COVID-19.
