With students and doctors from across the nation, Gauhati Medical College stands as the hub of amalgamation of the best medical knowledge North East has ever known. Situated atop the Narkasur hills, GMCH is a centre of excellence for medical academic pursuits, research as well as patient care. Established in 1960 as the 2nd medical college in Assam, in the 57 years of its existence GMCH has created a niche for itself when one talks of medical education in the country and North East in particular.

Let's dig into some special reasons that make GMCH ever so special:-

1)1st Govt. Superspeciality hospital of NorthEast India.

The hospital has been a boon for the patients of the entire North East as well as for patients from West Bengal and other parts of the country who come here in search of best care at a minimal fee.

2) Setting benchmarks.

What surely would be the first case of a civil hospital being turned to an extended wing of a medical college in Assam.
