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.[5] 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 (which later became Osmania Medical College) in 1847, headed by Maclean.[5]
Edward Lawrie, then principal of Hyderabad Medical School, performed a series of experiments at the Afzal Gunj Hospital (now Osmania General Hospital) on anaesthesia[6] (Hyderabad Chloroform Commission).[5] Rupa Bai Furdoonji, said to be the world's first qualified female anesthesiologist, graduated from the college in 1889.[7]
