History
The history of Maulana Azad Medical College, could be traced to 1936, when India was being ruled by the British. Indian Medical Service at that time was heavily manned by the British. In 1940, Martin Melvin Curickshank of the Indian Medical Service (IMS) [a British national], was appointed Medical Superintendent Irwin Hospital and Chief Medical Officer of New Delhi. He was appointed specifically to establish a medical college complex near Ramlila Ground.
But before his plans could come to fruition, the Second World War started in 1939, and the plan of a new medical college had to be dropped. During the Second World War some barracks were rapidly constructed near Safdarjung's tomb to establish a medical center for American troops fighting in this region. This hospital was well equipped with x-ray machine, laboratory and other facilities for various emergency procedures. After the Second World War was over, America handed over this place to Government of India. This place, where the present Safdarjung Hospital exists, was to be taken over as an extension of Irwin Hospital. Later CGHS took over this place directly to be run by Central Health Ministry.
Today the grave of Mughal era poet, Momin lies near the parking area near the college.
