THE TEXTBOOK “GENERAL CHEMISTRY” PUBLISHED FOR MEDICAL SECONDARY SCHOOL

In Turkmenistan, particular attention is given to caring for people and protecting public health. Achievements in modern chemistry play an important role in the development of medicine, contributing to the creation of new medicines, materials, and technologies that help prevent and treat many diseases.

To become qualified healthcare professionals, students must understand the impact of various chemical substances and processes on human health and the environment. Therefore, students of medical secondary schools, regardless of their chosen specialization, are expected to acquire solid knowledge in chemistry and develop practical laboratory skills.

Recently, the Turkmen State Publishing Service published a textbook entitled “General Chemistry” for medical secondary educational institutions (authors: M.Amangulyyev, A.Altyyev, M.Nurgeldiуev and T. Rozyeva). The textbook presents the fundamental principles of inorganic and organic chemistry, including the structure of atoms, the periodic law and periodic table of chemical elements, chemical bonding, solutions, reaction kinetics, and the structure and properties of organic compounds. The publication is intended primarily for students of medical colleges but can also be useful for teachers and learners of other specialized educational institutions.
