It is my proud privilege to be the principal cum Chief Superintendent of Assam Medical College & Hospital the premier and glorious centre of medical education in North East India. Stemming from the John Berry White Medical School- the first medical school in the North East India, this institute has a glorious history of providing quality medical education and health care services thus catering the need of people of upper Assam and other neighboring states of North East India. Established in the year 1900 with the donation of his life time earning of Rs. 50000/- by Dr. John Berry White (MRCS), a British Surgeon of East India Company in the then undivided Lakhimpur district of Assam, this school was upgraded to a full-fledged Medical College the Assam Medical College in the year 1947 and was formally inaugurated by Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi First premiere of Assam on 3rd November 1947. Over the period of more than 7 decades of its glorious existence this institute has not only produced innumerable medical graduates and post graduates but also provided the much-needed nidus for development of other medical colleges of the state. Besides these, the special bond that the students studying in Assam Medical College, share with the members of the faculty should not go without mention.
