History

The college was established in 1846 and named the Hyderabad Medical School, during the reign of the 5th Nizam of Hyderabad - Afzal ad-Dawlah, Asaf Jah V.
When the Nizam became ill, probably from diabetes, the then British resident suggested he be treated with Western medicine by William Campbell Maclean.The Nizam recovered fully. Impressed with allopathic medicine, he ordered the establishment of the Hyderabad Medical School in 1847, headed by Maclean.
Edward Lawrie, then principal of Hyderabad Medical School, performed a series of experiments at the Afzal Gunj Hospital on anaesthesia. Rupa Bai Furdoonji, said to be the world's first qualified female anesthesiologist, graduated from the college in 1889.
After the establishment of the Osmania University in 1919, the school was renamed Osmania Medical College, after the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan.
