Patna Medical College and Hospital (abbreviated PMCH) established in 1925 and originally known as Prince of Wales Medical College, is a medical college located in Patna, the state capital of Bihar, India. It is located on the southern bank of the river Ganges and is now affiliated to Aryabhatta Knowledge University (previously: Patna University). The exact location is on Ashok Rajpath which is home to many other notable colleges of Patna University. The college was a premier center for imparting medial education in pre-independence era, producing doctors such as Dr. Banerjee, Dr. Dukhan Ram, Dr. B. Mukhopadhyaya etc. However sadly, in recent time the quality and standard of the college has degraded substantially and radically. Despite this the college handles one of the biggest patient loads around the globe and the variety of Patients you get to see here is unparalleled across India. Many interns of different medical colleges prefer to do their internship from the hospital here.
