==History==
'''Government Medical College, Kozhikode''' is a [[public university|public]] [[medical school|medical college]] in [[Kozhikode]], in the [[Indian state]] of [[Kerala]]. It is one of the largest hospitals in India by area, covering more than 270 acres of land in the outskirts of Kozhikode. Two fifth of Kerala's population depends on the hospital for treatment.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Government Medical College Kozhikode |url=https://www.govtmedicalcollegekozhikode.ac.in/aboutUs |access-date=12 February 2021 |website=}}</ref>
The foundation stone of the college was laid on 29 May 1957 by the then Governor of Kerala, Dr. B. Ramakrishna Rao. The college was formally inaugurated on 5 August 1957 by the then minister of Health, Kerala state Dr. A. R. Menon, whose initiative and zeal were responsible for the establishment of the institution. Dr. K. N. Pisharoty, the first principal, was responsible for the task of organizing the college.


The main hospital was commissioned in 1966 with 1183 beds. It was later supplemented by the Institute of Maternal and Child Health in 1975 (610 beds), The Savithri Devi Saboo Memorial Cancer Institute (101 beds), and the Chest Hospital (100 beds). A super-specialty complex, a new Block for the Institute of Maternal and Child Health(IMCH), an artificial limb centre, the College of Nursing, the College of Pharmacy, Casualty (Emergency Services) complex, Samrakshana Kendram, and Vishrama Kendram were later added to the main institution. The present bed strength is 3025( MCH 1510, IMCH-1100, SSB-240,ICD-100, sports Medicine-15, New Psychiatry Block-20 and Hemato-oncology-40). However, the patient load is beyond the commissioned number of total beds. Because of the patient overload, the floors and corridors are usually occupied. The Dental College was inaugurated on 16 April 1984, Nursing College was started in 1989 and are at present functioning as independent colleges.
