Azerbaijani physician (1895–1981)

Mustafa Topchubashov practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.

Mustafa Topchubashov was born at Yerevan in 1895. His recorded nationality is Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. He trained at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and Erivan Gymnasium.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, laboratory medicine, vaccines and public health began to change mortality at population scale.

His posts were held at Azerbaijan Medical University.

The recorded fields of work are medicine.

Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
