In 1950, during their visit to the Soviet Union, Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai agreed to the proposal of Comrade Saifuding Aizezi, then Vice Chairman of the People's Government of Xinjiang Province, to build a medical college in Urumqi, Xinjiang, and included it in the 156 key projects of the Soviet Union's "First Five-Year Plan" to assist the construction of New China. In 1954, the predecessor of Xinjiang Medical University, Xinjiang Medical College, started construction at the foot of Liyu Mountain. At the call of the Party Central Committee, a large number of outstanding teachers and medical workers from Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Liaoning and other places gathered at Xinjiang Medical College, laying a solid foundation for the development of the school. In 1956, Xinjiang Medical College was officially built and enrolled for the first time. 233 clinical medicine undergraduates held an opening ceremony in Suyuan, Xinyi Road Campus, marking that the people of Xinjiang have their own "cradle" for cultivating medical talents. In 1961, with the approval of the People's Government of the Autonomous Region, some classes of Urumqi Health School and Autonomous Region Health Cadre School were merged to form the Autonomous Region Traditional Chinese Medicine School. In 1985, it was rebuilt into Xinjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 1998, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, Xinjiang Medical College and Xinjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine merged to form Xinjiang Medical University, and the school's development has reached a new level. In 2016, the school was officially approved to become a provincial and ministerial co-construction university, opening a new chapter in the development of Xinjiang's medical higher education and health care. In recent years, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, and with the care and support of the Party Committee and the People's Government of the Autonomous Region, the school's school-running and medical level and comprehensive strength have steadily improved. In April 2023, the new Party Committee of the school was established, and the goal of building a "first-class medical university in the west and radiating Central Asia" was determined, and the school entered a new stage of high-quality development. The school currently has 18,016 faculty and staff (including 1,485 in universities and 16,531 in affiliated units), 27,984 full-time students (21,682 undergraduates, 5,117 master's students, 678 doctoral students, and 507 international students at all levels of academic education).
