Nehru Homeopathic Medical College (NHMC) is a homeopathic medical college located in New Delhi.[1][2] The college offers two courses in the field of homeopathic education[3] A Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (B.H.M.S) and MD (Hom). NHMC has been affiliated with University of Delhi[4] since 1992 and functions under the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi.[5][6] It is regarded as one of the topmost and premier Homeopathic Medical Colleges for B.H.M.S in India.[7][8]

History

NHMC and Hospital[9] attached to it was founded by Padma Bhushan winner Yudhvir Singh.[10] The foundation stone of the college building was laid by Sushila Nayyar, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, India on 22 August 1963. The OPD[11] Wing was inaugurated by Lal Bahadur Shastri on 6 May 1964. Classes in the college were commenced from 1967 for DHMS Course, upgraded to BHMS course under the Board of Homoeopathic System of Medicine. On 1 September 1972 this institution was handed over by the Yudhvir Singh Charitable Trust to University of Delhi Administration.[12]

After the procurement of Nehru Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital by Government of Delhi, Jugal Kishore was made its first director.[13]

Controversies

COVID-19 Hospital objection

On April 16, 2020 NHMC & Hospital was declared to be dedicated for the COVID-19 patients by Delhi government.[14] After this decision many of the Defence Colony residents living near the hospital premises had raised their concerns about hospital management and safety issues in handling COVID-19 patients.[15] Major (Retired) Ranjit Singh, the President of the Defence Colony RWA had also written a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal about the risks associated with shifting COVID-19 patients to Nehru hospital[16] and also raised questions on reliability of homeopathic hospitals. However, Anu Kapoor,[17] Medical Superintendent of Nehru Hospital told Mail Today that they were only in preparation mode for converting the hospital into a dedicated COVID-19 hospital at that time.[18][19]
