The Faculty of Medicine was annexed to Ain Shams University in 1950 to be the third Faculty of Medicine in Egypt

The Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, is considered one of the oldest Egyptian medical faculties since its establishment in 1947. Many talents and pioneering professors graduated from it in the field of medicine, management and leadership at the local level or the international level.

It was called the Abbasia Faculty of Medicine and was affiliated to Fouad I University (currently Cairo University), then it was joined to Ain Shams University in 1950 to be the third Faculty of Medicine in Egypt after Cairo Medicine and Alexandria Medicine, then a teaching hospital, Al-Demerdash Hospital, was attached to it, and it includes most of the surgical departments.

The buildings of the Freedom Refuge adjacent to the hospital were chosen as the headquarters for the scientific departments: anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry and their museums, and some departments of the final years such as forensic medicine and preventive medicine.
