Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute

The Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute boasts a rich history as one of Karnataka’s premier medical institutions. It wasn’t always a government institution though. Remarkably, it began as a private endeavor by the Mysore Education Society, spearheaded by visionary doctors like Dr. R. Shivaram, Dr. Mekhri, Dr. B.K. Narayana Rao, and Dr. B.V. Ramaswamy. Their dedication to medical education paved the way for a renowned institute.
