The forerunner of the university was the Military Medical School of Peasants’ Red Army and the Chinese Workers’. It was set up with the acceptance of The Central Military Commission in Ruijin of Jiangxi province that was the birthplace of the Provisional Central Government of the Soviet Republic of China in October of 1931.
