The university began as a medical school within the University of Saigon (university in the Republic Of Vietnam period, not to be confused with the modern day Saigon University). It was established in 1947 with Professor C. Massias serving as the principal during the period of French Indochina. [4] It was located on the site of the historic Khải Tường Pagoda, originally at 28 Testardi street, later renamed Trần Quý Cáp Street in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City during the South Vietnam era. The site is now home to the War Remnants Museum on Võ Văn Tần Street. On August 31, 1961, under the Republic of Vietnam government, the school was divided into two institutions: Saigon College of Medicine and Saigon College of Pharmacy. In 1964, the Saigon College of Dentistry was established, branching off from the medical school.
In the year 1976, after the Vietnam War, the three schools were merged and renamed to Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy under the authority of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The initial headquarters consisted of two floors housing offices, a library, a lecture room, and three adjacent buildings for educational purposes.
The learning facilities for fundamental sciences and medicine were situated at various locations throughout Ho Chi Minh City. These included the Pasteur Institute for the study of parasitic microorganisms, the Human Body Institute for Anatomy, and Saigon Hospital for Chemistry. The Human Body Institute facilitated learning in histology, physiology, pathology, and anatomy. The students of Medicine and Pharmacy studied at the main facility until 1961, when the Faculty of Pharmacy relocated to "Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street."[ citation needed ]
On November 16, 1966, the school moved to the Medicine Learning Center on Hong Bang Street, District 5. This facility, equipped with modern amenities, has served as an educational venue for medical and dental students. The center includes a main auditorium with 500 seats, three additional 300-seat auditoriums, a library, and laboratory facilities.
On October 27, 1976, the government reorganized the schools at Saigon University Institute to create eight schools, which included the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City. It's new name, though not explicitly mentioning the dental school, has been officially used since 1976.[ citation needed ]
After the year 1990, the university and the Ministry of Health established additional faculties and one hospital which are listed below:
