Dear Colleagues, Employees of the Medical University of Bialystok,

Dear Students, PhD Students and Graduates of our University,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This year, we celebrate wonderful 70th anniversary of our University.

On February 3,1950 the Medical Academy of Bialystok was established by the decree of the Council of Ministers and since 2008 it has had the status of the Medical University.

The 70th anniversary is an opportunity to recall the history and heritage of our Great Predecessors and Teachers, but also an inspiration for all of us to strengthen the university community, an occasion to stimulate positive emotions integrating our academic environment.

We are proud of our nearly 30,000 graduates who have succeeded in the country and in many places around the world. We want them to be Ambassadors and Friends of our Alma Mater.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We started 70 years ago as the 10th youngest medical academy in the country - today we are among the best universities in Poland and we believe that the future belongs to us.

I wish all Employees, Students and Graduates of our University prosperity, as well as professional and personal success, because your individual accomplishments make the success of the Medical University of Bialystok.

Rector of the Medical University of Bialystok
