Historique
The Krishnarajendra Hospital was opened in Mysore (now Mysuru), India, in 1876. It was re-constructed in 1918 with accomodation for 250 in-patients. The hospital aimed to offer free treatment for the poor, regardless of caste, creed or colour. An out-patient department endowed by Hajee Sier Ismail Sait was opened in 1928. An Eye Department and a Children's Ward were opened in 1934. By 2004 the hospital was a Tertiary Referral Centre and Teaching Hospital attached to Mysore Medical College. The hospital has a total bed capacity of around 1330 beds.
The Mysore University Medical College was established first at Bangalore in 1924, and moved to new buildings at Mysore (now Mysuru) in 1930. In the 1930s, some graduates of the College went on to become Members of the Royal College of Physicians (London) and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Some went on to further study and practice in the United States of America, and others stayed to practice in India. The College is attached to the teaching hospitals, Krishnarajendra Hospital and Cheluvamba Hospital.
