The first alumni meeting of School of Public Health (SPH) affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) was held on the 45th anniversary of its establishment at Avicenna Conference Hall on February 28, 2011.

Referring to 76 years of prosperity by TUMS, Dr. Moslem Bahadori, the director of TUMS Alumni Office, claimed that professors from other universities in Iran had been once to TUMS for pursuing their education and the School of Public Health, which is the oldest school of its kind in Iran, had helped root out many bacterial, viral and protozoan diseases in the country.
