Michael Saakashvili is known for his valuable contribution and great
service to the history of the Georgian Medical Science. A wonderful
neuropathologist, theorist and clinical physician, in 1943 M.
Saakashvili founded the chair of the History of Medicine in Tbilisi
Medical University. In 1945 he founded the department with the same name
in the Institute of History of the Georgian Academy of Science.
In 1950 Professor Saakashvili became the head of the Medical Institute.
Thanks to him no area in the History of Georgian Medicine was left
unlearned. Michael Saakashvili made his best to continue the traditions
started by Professor Lado Kotetishvili and contributed a lot to the
processing and publishing of the numerous medical manuscripts.
“The history of the Georgian Medicine” is considered to be the wreath of
M. Saakashvili’s studies. It was planned as the five-volume fundamental
work, but unfortunately the Professor himself could see the edition of
only two of them.
Professor Michael Saakashvili’s work as a scientist, teacher and a
public man is highly appreciated by the grateful descendants. His
scientific heritage belongs not only to the Georgian nation, but to the
whole civilization.
