The Gandhi Medical College Legacy
& The AEGIS Convocation.

Origins & Founding Mandate (1954)

Founded on September 14, 1954, Gandhi Medical College was inaugurated by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Recognized immediately by the Medical Council of India (now the National Medical Commission), the institution was established to deliver state-of-the-art medical education and compassionate healthcare to the people of Hyderabad and the wider Deccan region.

Today, Gandhi Hospital stands as a 1,200+ bed tertiary multi-specialty hospital complex affiliated with Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS). It houses dedicated trauma resuscitation bays, cardiac catheterization labs, bone marrow transplant suites, kidney transplantation facilities, and advanced clinical simulation labs.

Each year, GMC trains 250 undergraduate MBBS scholars and hundreds of postgraduates and super-specialty fellows across every medical discipline, fostering a culture where evidence-based inquiry and clinical acumen go hand-in-hand.
