HistoryEdit
The hospital's history dates back to 28 October 1952 when Mr.Chandulal Trivedi,the Governor of Punjab,on behalf of Rai Bahadur Jodhamal Kuthiala,a philanthropist,laid the foundation stone of a TB sanatorium.[3] The TB sanatorium was inaugurated by Dr.Rajendra Prasad,the first President of India,on 21 May 1958.[3] The 200 bed hospital was the gift by Rai Bahadur to the Kangra residents.[3] The foundation stone for the hospital was laid by the then Chief Minister Sh. Virbhadra Singh on 23 October 1996.[4] The TB sanatorium was converted to the Medical College on 25 February 1997 with a hospital facility at Dharmasala.[3] The new hospital was dedicated to public by the Chief Minister on 3 October 2008. The college was recognised by Medical Council of India(MCI) provisionally on 24 February 2005 and received permanent recognition in January 2010.[3]
