Disaster struck Bhopal on the dark night intervening 2nd and 3rd December 1984.

Thousands died, many were injured, many widowed, still more orphaned, many

permanently disabled. There was no limit to the devastation that had been caused. It was a

man-made disaster and every person who suffered was affected physically, psychologically

and socially. Both immediate and long-term post-disaster interventions were called for. As a

long-term intervention, one of the historic decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India

and the Government of India was to provide exceptional quality, free of cost medical care to

those affected. This decision resulted in the setting up of a well-equipped, excellently

staffed super specialty hospital, Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre (BMHRC)

that was established on 01st July, 2000.

With the compassionate care, excellent medical equipment, and high standards of

medical treatment BMHRC grew up to being a hospital par excellence, one of its kinds, not

only in Central India but in the world. The glory of the magnificent infrastructure and the

warmth of the ambience distinguish BMHRC from the rest of the hospitals in the country.

BMHRC focuses on specialization with perfection through a diligent team of professional

and highly qualified doctors. The efforts put in by each one is visible when a cured and

satisfied patient smiles.

A bio-psycho-social healing model is the call of the day and hence, the focus is on the

establishment of rehabilitative programs to improve the quality of life of the patients. From

the year 2000 (clinical services started on 1st July) till the current year lakhs of patients have

been treated at the main hospital and the eight health centres.

The patients are referred to the main hospital from the primary health centres for

superspeciality treatment. Primary health care needs are taken care of at the health centres.

These health centres are situated at various gas affected areas of Bhopal at Kainchi Chola,

Station Bajaria, Chandbad, Teela Jamalpura, Ginnori, Jahangirabad, Karond and Bal Vihar.

The Health Centres are well equipped to provide emergency care and preventive, curative,

restorative and rehabilitative treatment. These Centres provide basic investigations including

haematological and biochemical tests, along with plain X-rays and ECGs. Medicines are

dispensed at the health centres to both new and follow up patients. The health centres boast

of a team of specialists in internal medicine, ophthalmology, general physicians, pathology /

X-ray technicians, optometrists, pharmacists and nurses.

The main hospital is 350-bedded and houses 17 specialties and super specialties which

are Anaesthesiology and Critical Care, Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Medical

Gastroenterology, Microbiology, Nephrology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology,

Pathology, Psychiatry, Pulmonary Medicine, Radiology, Research, Surgical
