Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital
Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Medical college and tertiary referral hospital in Sealdah, Kolkata, India.
Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital is a medical school with an attached tertiary care facility in Sealdah, Kolkata. The grounds spread across several buildings in Ward 55 and include lecture halls, research laboratories, clinics and wards for specialized treatments.
The institution was founded in 1873 as Sealdah Medical School, initially offering basic medical training in a single building. In 1947 it received its current name to honor a former student who became a physician and independence activist.
The institution honors Sir Nilratan Sircar, a Bengali physician and independence activist who studied here before becoming a prominent public figure. Visitors can find traces of this tradition across the grounds, linking medical education with social commitment.
Visitors can enter the grounds during regular operating hours but should note this is an active medical facility. Buildings connect through walkways, with main areas marked by signage.
Dr. Kedarnath Das designed the Bengal Forceps here in 1912, an obstetric tool specifically adapted for Asian women. These instruments remain in use in obstetric practice across South Asia today.
