- History & Memorable Moments
The history of Maulana Azad Medical College, could be traced to 1936, when India was being ruled by the British. Indian Medical Service at that time was heavily manned by the British. In 1936, Lt. Col. Curickshank of the Indian Medical Service (IMS) [a British national], then Medical Superintendent and Chief Medical Officer of Irwin Hospital saw the dream of building a medical college complex near Ramlila Ground. [1]
But before his dream could come to fruition, the Second world war started in 1939, and the plan of a new medical college had to be dropped. During Second World War some barracks were rapidly constructed near Safdarjung tomb to establish a medical center for American Troops fighting in this region. This hospital was well equipped with x-ray machine, laboratory and other facilities for various emergency procedures. After the Second World War was over American handed over this place to Government of India. This place, where the present Safdarjung Hospital exists was to be taken over as an extension of Irwin Hospital Later CGHS took over this place directly to be run by Central Health Ministry. [1]
An interesting fact is that the foundation stone of AIIMS was initially laid in this campus near abandoned jail area but was later shifted to present site for AIIMS, after it was decided to make later an autonomous institution. [1]
