Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital

What Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital does

Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) is a Government of Bihar-owned medical education institution and teaching hospital located in Laheriasarai, Darbhanga, India. Established in 1946 on 300 acres of land donated by the Raj family of Darbhanga, DMCH offers MBBS (120 seats), MD/MS postgraduate courses, B.Sc. Nursing, and para-medical diploma programs, with admissions administered through the NEET-based All India Quota and Bihar State Quota counseling processes. The college is recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC, successor to the Medical Council of India) and is affiliated with Aryabhatta Knowledge University for degree conferral.

The associated teaching hospital operates as a tertiary care referral center for Darbhanga and surrounding North Bihar districts, with 1,130+ beds including 50 ICU beds, ~45,000 monthly OPD visits, 500+ monthly surgeries, and 30+ clinical departments plus superspeciality services in Cardiology, Neurology, Neuro-Surgery, and Gastroenterology (with endoscopy). Supporting infrastructure includes a Central Library (~50,000 books, ~2,000 users), Blood Bank, Radiology (X-ray, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, Interventional Radiology), Pathology/Microbiology/Hematology/Biochemistry laboratories, 24/7 Emergency services, Pharmacy, Mortuary, and a Telemedicine program for remote specialist consultation. An ICMR-supported Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL) operates on campus.

Revenue mechanics combine modest annual academic fees (e.g., MBBS tuition of ₹9,000/year plus hostel and one-time charges) with patient-service income from OPD/IPD, diagnostics, and surgeries, supplemented by reimbursements under the Ayushman Bharat government health insurance scheme and state budget allocations from the Government of Bihar. The customer base is split between medical students admitted via NEET counseling and the general public of North Bihar seeking tertiary healthcare; pricing is highly subsidized, and no private equity, VC, or external ownership is evidenced.
