Madras Medical College

Madras Medical college: History

Madras Medical College , Hospital is one of the top medical colleges in India.

It was started on 16th November 1664 as a small Hospital to treat the sick soldiers of the East India Company.

It is the brainchild of Sir Edward Winter who was the agent of the company that materialized in the first British Hospital at Madras.

In the beginning, the Hospital was housed at the Fort St. George and it took another 25 years to convert in a formal medical facility. Governor Sir. Elihu Yale played an important role in the development of the Hospital and gave it new premises within the Fort in 1690.

The Hospital moved out of the Fort after the Anglo-French War and it took 20 long years before it could settle in the present permanent place in 1772.

By the year 1772, the Hospital was training Europeans, Eurasians, and natives in allopathic methods of diagnosis and treatment and methods of preparing medicines.

This trained personnel were posted to various dispensaries in the district headquarters of the then Madras Presidency to assist the qualified doctors.

By 1820 the institution had the recognition as the model hospital of the East India Company. So in 1827, Dr. D.Mortimar was appointed as the Superintendent of the Hospital.

A private medical hall run by Dr. Mortimar was regularized as a medical school and it was opened by Sir Fredrick Adams, the then Governor of Madras on 2^nd February 1835.

The Governor promulgated an order to make the school a state-sponsored one and attached it to the General Hospital.
In 1842 the Hospital opened its doors to local peoples of India.

In the next two decades, the teaching staff had increased, the duration of the course extended and the curriculum was made comprehensive.

Senior courses spanning 5 years were started and private people were also admitted for the first time in the institution.

In the early part of 1850, the school council submitted proposals to the government to accord the status of a College. The Government granted this request and from 1^st October 1850, it became Madras Medical College.
The first batch of students graduated in 1852 and was granted the Diploma of Graduate of the Madras
Medical College.

In 1857, it get affiliation from the University of Madras.

After the affiliation in 1857, the College moved to be a center of excellence providing training in all the specialties in the field of medicine and surgery. Today it is one of the top institutions in the country with undergraduate, postgraduate and super-specialty courses.

The Courses offered by the Madras Medical College are affiliated from 1988 to the “The Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University”.

Being a single working mother is tough when it comes to the very tedious and tiring Medical admission procedure in India where there is such a high number of students with very limited seats. I am Richa Mittal mother of Shivam Mittal living in Noida My son NEET score was 492 in the year 2017 but we were cheated by a consultancy firm in Bangalore. They ran away with our 10 lakh rupees and since then we were in shock and frustrated with the entire scenario my son dropped that year and so as the hopes for getting into a medical college in India. He prepared again for the NEET 2018 and managed to score a well deserving 267 after all the trauma we had from the past experience but unfortunately things were changed in 2018 and getting admission in a medical college was even tougher than before. One day I was discussing the matter in my office where my colleague told me about Get Mbbs Admission with all the courage and hope I met Mr. Vinod and brief him about the entire case after listening to me well enough for 45 mins he took the matter in his hand and proceed with the Admission counseling and today when I am writing this mail my son is studying MBBS in UP. God bless them for the work they are doing and putting all the efforts for the students and parents. I can't express the happiness in this mail but end this mail with a Thank you !!!.
