In 1994 the First Medical Institute was reorganized into a medical university that received its present name. In the 1930s the Institute of Chemistry and Pharmacy as well as the Institute of Pediatrics were detached from the First Medical Institute and established as independent units. In the meantime construction of new units and laboratory buildings were already in the design phase but the Second World War interfered with fulfilling that plan. During heroic wartime defense of Leningrad the Institute did not cease to provide patient care, education and research; many of its graduates went to war.
