The Faculty of Dentistry at Assiut University was established based on the approval of the Supreme Council of Universities No. 565 dated 6/2/2012, which included approval for the establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry at Assiut University and the adoption of the necessary legislative procedures in this regard, as well as Assiut University Council Decision No. 575 dated 26/7/2012, which included approval to commence study at the Faculty of Dentistry at Assiut University starting from the academic year 2012/2013, and Presidential Decree No. 194 of 2012 approving the establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry at Assiut University.

The idea of opening the faculty had preoccupied the university administration for decades, yet this dream was not realized throughout those years until it finally came true this year, so that the sons and daughters of Middle and Upper Egypt would have a Faculty of Dentistry close to them, and to provide distinguished dental treatment services in Upper Egypt at the highest and most up-to-date standards.

By the will of God, the faculty was established as an international one, as the efforts of the University President with the State of Malaysia resulted in the enrollment of nearly 50 students in this faculty. This represents the first step toward the enrollment of students from other countries, making it the first faculty in Egypt to begin with an international character.

Numerous meetings and agreements were held with leading professors of dentistry in Egypt to ensure that the faculty would be established on strong and sound foundations, applying the latest scientific advancements in the field of dentistry. An ambitious plan was developed for the construction of the faculty buildings and their equipment to the highest standards. Indeed, an area of 6,000 square meters of land was allocated for the establishment of the faculty buildings and facilities, and work is currently underway, expected to be completed within 30 months, God willing. Plans were also made to attract highly qualified and academically experienced faculty members to provide educational and medical services at the highest level.

HISTORY (FACULTY STORY)

The idea of establishing the institute began in 1990, when a significant increase in the number of cancer patients was observed.

In 1991, the idea emerged to allocate the hospital premises as a nucleus for the establishment of the South Egypt Cancer Institute, due to the great need of this vast region for such advanced services to serve the people of Upper Egypt, from Beni Suef Governorate in the north to Aswan in the south.

In the same year, the Board of Directors of Assiut University Hospitals approved the allocation of the old university hospital building as the headquarters for the Oncology Hospital.

Work at that time began with two units: bladder cancer and pediatric oncology. The institute was part of the university hospital and under the supervision of the Faculty of Medicine at Assiut University, and it did not have an independent entity. This situation continued until 1994, after which the idea of establishing an independent oncology institute in Upper Egypt was reconsidered. However, this faced many financial and administrative difficulties.

On 14/8/1997, the Supreme Council of Universities issued Decision No. 350 approving the establishment of the South Egypt Cancer Institute at Assiut University, stipulating that the internal bylaws of the National Cancer Institute in Cairo would be applied to it.

On 29/12/1999, Presidential Decree No. (470) was issued establishing the South Egypt Cancer Institute, and since that date, the institute has been operating as an independent academic institute affiliated with Assiut University.
