About ASSAM MEDICAL COLLEGE

Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH), formerly known as the Berry White Medical School, stands as a beacon of medical excellence and historical significance in Northeast India. Established on November 3, 1947, it holds the distinction of being the first medical college in the entire Northeast region. The institution was born out of the visionary efforts of Sir John Berry White, a British surgeon of the East India Company, who contributed his personal savings to start the first formal medical education center in Assam in the late 19th century. Over the decades, AMCH has evolved from a small medical school into a massive multi-specialty healthcare and educational hub. Located in the picturesque tea-capital city of Dibrugarh, the campus spans a vast area, blending colonial-era architecture with modern medical facilities. The college is affiliated with the Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences and is recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC). AMCH is renowned for its rigorous academic curriculum and unparalleled clinical exposure, owing to the massive patient inflow from upper Assam and neighboring states like Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. It offers a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma courses across various medical disciplines. The institution has produced thousands of doctors who serve globally, maintaining a legacy of service and professional integrity. With the recent addition of a Super Specialty wing and advanced diagnostic labs, AMCH continues to bridge the gap between historical prestige and contemporary medical technology, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of healthcare delivery in India.
