==History==
The Kerala State Co-operative Hospital Complex (KCHC) and Centre for Advanced Medical Services Ltd. is a [[Co-operative Society]] registered under Kerala Co-operative Societies Act 1969 with an object to build a 1000-bed super-speciality Hospital with modern medical facilities and a medical college. The Management of Kerala State Co-operative Hospital Complex and Centre for Advanced Medical Services Ltd. formed a Charitable Trust Named Academy of Medical Science (ACME) under the direct control of KCHC. The above society was registered under Societies Registration Act 1860 in November 1993 with the primary objective of running a medical college.


The founder of Pariyaram Medical College was veteran political leader Shri M V Raghavan. The founder Chairman of ACME was Shri K Karunakaran, former Chief Minister of the State.
