AEGIS 9 — Gandhi Medical College | National Medical Congress

01 / THE CONVOCATION

HISTORIC MEDICAL INSTITUTION SINCE 1954

Seven Decades of Clinical
Pioneering & Evidence.

AEGIS represents the zenith of medical academia at Gandhi Medical College, uniting foundational physiology with the frontiers of emergency resuscitation and surgical innovation.

Founded in 1954, Gandhi Medical College (GMC), Hyderabad stands as one of South India's preeminent tertiary healthcare academies and referral centres. Affiliated with Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, GMC's sprawling hospital campus serves millions while training generations of India's most decorated physicians, surgeons, and healthcare administrators.

AEGIS 9 marks the ninth iteration of our flagship national medical congress. Designed to dismantle conventional passive symposiums, AEGIS immerses undergraduate scholars, resident physicians, and clinical faculty in rigorous scientific competitions, parliamentary medicolegal debates, and hands-on cadaveric/simulator workstations.
