Dayanand Medical College is a tertiary care teaching hospital in Ludhiana in North India.

History[edit]

Dr Banarsi Dass Soni, former Captain in the Indian Military Service, conceived the idea in 1934 and started Arya Medical School in a rented building in Civil Lines, Ludhiana. In 1936, the management of the school was handed over to the Arya Samaj, Saban Bazar, Ludhiana, under the aegis of Arya Pratinidhi Sabha, Punjab.

In 1964 the Arya Medical School became a full-fledged MBBS College, which came to be known as Dayanand Medical College & Hospital (DMCH). The management was taken over by Managing Society of Dayanand Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana, and industrialist Shri H. R. Dhanda became its founder president.

DMCH was the first hospital in Punjab to set up a dialysis unit in the nephrology service in 1980.

It is the first and only institution in India that offers a unique technique of external fixators perfected by Professor Oganesyan from Russia.[clarification needed]
