President Viktor Yuschenko has assigned national status to the Ivano-Frankivsk State Medical University.

This follows from a presidential decree No.1096/2008 of November 27.

Yuschenko has granted such status to the university taking into account nationwide and international recognition of the results of its activity, as well as its important contribution to the development of national education and science.

As Ukrainian News reported, on September 1, Yuschenko assigned national status to the Zhytomyr State Agro-Ecological University.
