R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital (RGKMCH) is a Public hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal, India[3] which started as Asia's first private medical college.[4][5] It was established in 1886 to ensure self-sufficiency in medical education and services in the colonial era. On May 12, 1958, the West Bengal Government assumed management of the establishment.[6] It was under the University of Calcutta from 1916 to 2003 and affiliated to West Bengal University of Health Sciences when it was established in 2003.[7][8] The college is a co-educational institution that is recognized by the National Medical Commission and affiliated with the West Bengal University of Health Sciences.

History

Established in 1886 as the Calcutta School of Medicine, it had no affiliated hospital and practiced out of the Mayo Hospital.[7] In 1902, it moved to its own complex including a school building and hospital. In 1904, it merged with the National College of Physicians and Surgeons of Bengal and, after a period of further growth, was renamed as the Belgachia Medical College in 1916.[7][9] From 1918 to 1948, the college was known as Carmichael Medical College in honor of Thomas Gibson-Carmichael, the Governor of Bengal at the college's inauguration in 1916. The institution was given its current name on 12 May 1948 to honour Dr. Radha Gobinda Kar who first conceived of it.[7][10][11][12] Dr. Suresh Prasad Sarbadhikari was the first President of the institution, and Kar was its first Secretary. On May 12, 1958, control of the college was passed to the state of West Bengal.[7]

Academics

The college offers MBBS, post-graduate diploma (DNB), post degree medical courses (MS, MD) and super specialty courses (DM, and MCh).It has a capacity of 250 MBBS 175 MD, MS, DNB Seats. And 28 DM, MCH Seats. Recently Mch in Neurosurgery opened in this college.[2]

On 9 August 2024, a second-year postgraduate trainee (PGT) doctor at the college was found dead in a seminar hall on the college campus.[13][14][15] An autopsy later confirmed that she had been raped and murdered. The incident has since sparked significant outrage and nationwide protests which demanded a thorough investigation while also questioning the safety of doctors and also women in their workplaces in India.[14]
