King George’s Medical University (KGMU), located in Lucknow, India, is one of South Asia’s leading academic medical institutions, known for its deep commitment to excellence in medical education, groundbreaking research, and world-class clinical care. Established in 1905, KGMU has evolved into a center of academic and clinical distinction with a legacy spanning over a century."
At the heart of our institution lies one of the largest university-affiliated hospitals in the world, with 4,250 operational beds. This extraordinary capacity enables KGMU to serve as a critical healthcare lifeline not only for the state of Uttar Pradesh but also for the neighboring regions of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and the bordering nation of Nepal. With millions of patient encounters annually, we are one of the busiest and most comprehensive tertiary care providers in the region.
Hither-to the College had been affiliated to the Allahabad University. For the first time in 1922 the degrees granted to the successful students was the M.B.B.S. Lucknow instead of the M.B.B.S. Allahabad, as hitherto.
The College was completed and the work of the first medical session was started in October 1911, though the ceremonial opening of the college building by His Honour Sir John Prescot Hewett did not occur until January 27, 1912.
Since 1922, the College and Hospital has expanded in several directions. A comprehensive museum of microscopic and macroscopic.
