Medical college established in 1847 #171399422
Description
It is the first medical college in Assam which was established at Dibrugarh. It was the first medical college established in north east india. The college grew from the Berry-White school of medicine which was established in Dibrugarh in 1900 using a donation of 50,000 rupees from Doctor John Berry White, Civil surgeon of East India Company. In 1910, the college imported two X-ray machines from England. This enabled the college to provide better medical education as well as better service to the needy patients. After the end of the second world war in August 1945, the college moved to the nearby hospital premises that had been used by the U.S. army. Soon after India`s independence, i.e. on 3 November 1947, the college was renamed as Assam Medical College by the State government headed by Gopinath Bordoloi. This is considered to be one of the notable achievements of the bordoloi ministry.
