Life
Mahmudova was born in Tashkent. Her father was a poet and educator. Her father, Mahmud Khodiyev - Botu, was employed in the Department of Education and when he was 26, he was arrested with others as an "enemy of the people".[2] He died on 9 May 1938 but his body was never returned.[3] Her mother was sentenced to ten years in prison leaving the two year old Mahmudova to be brought up by her grandparents, Tokhkhan and Maqsud.[4]
She went to the Orga State University but left[4] to attend Taskent's State Medical Institute. In 1951 she graduated[1] and a job in research was available but it was denied to her because of her father's reputation.[4]
In 1958 she was working in public health at the regional sanitary and epidemiological station in Urgut and she left there to work again as a chief physician at the Samakand regional sanitary and epidemiological station. She was there until 1963 when she was promoted to be Uzbek SSR's Deputy Minister of Health. During her time as deputy minister her dissertation for her doctorate on the Historical development of therapy in Uzbekistan was accepted.[1]
