About the Institute:
The need for more medical colleges in Assam was keenly felt. The State Govt. in 1959 headed by the then Chief Minister of Assam, Mr. B. P. Chaliha, the then Finance Minister, Mr. Fakaruddin Ali Ahmed, and the then Health Minister of Assam Mr. Rupram Brahma decided to have a second medical college in Assam. In the last week of September,1960 the first batch of the 100 students were interviewed and selected in the AMC, Dibrugarh. Preclinical classes were started from 10th October, 1960.
The Silchar Medical College & Hospital remains the only referral hospital in the southern part of Assam and so, is the sole custodian of health care system of the entire Barak Valley. Being situated in a very strategic geographic location, it also renders its services to the ailing community of the neighbouring states like Mizoram, North Tripura, West Manipur and South Meghalaya.
Vision:
Since 1968, our Institution has been serving the ailing public of the entire Barak Valley and the adjoining regions of the neighbouring states of Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram and Meghalaya. It has not only fulfilled the dreams and aspirations of the public of this region but at the same time has been able to produce a number of brilliant physicians who have been serving the ailing human community with repute in different parts of the country and the world as well. We look forward to achieve greater heights in the future too.
