As we stand on the cusp of a historic event, I take immense pleasure in inviting each one of you, whether within India or across the globe, to join us in celebrating the Centenary of Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on 24th and 25th February 2025. This milestone, which marks 100 years of unparalleled service in medical education and healthcare, is an extraordinary occasion to commemorate the legacy of our institution and reflect on the remarkable contributions made by our alumni to the medical fraternity.

Founded in 1925, PMCH has remained a cornerstone of medical excellence, recognised not only for pro- ducing some of the finest doctors but also for nurturing generations of medical professionals who have served both nationally and internationally with distinction. Our institution’s rich history is defined by its unwavering commitment to advancing medical knowledge, improving healthcare delivery, and contributing to the better- ment of society. The accomplishments of PMCH alumni in various medical fields have been exemplary, and it is this shared legacy that brings us together in celebration.

The Centenary Celebration is a golden opportunity for us to revisit our collective past, honour our distin- guished alumni, and chart a future that is even brighter and more innovative. It is also an opportunity for us to show our appreciation to the faculty, students, and medical professionals who have continuously strived to uphold the standards and traditions of PMCH. Through the years, PMCH has remained at the forefront of medical education, producing generations of doctors who have excelled in their fields, and we take great pride in this legacy of excellence.

In this spirit, I extend a heartfelt invitation to all alumni and medical professionals associated with PMCH, wherever you may be, to attend this landmark celebration. This gathering will not only allow us to reconnect with old friends and colleagues but also give us the chance to reflect on the strides we have made in the field of medicine and healthcare. It is our sincere hope that you will take part in this momentous event and contribute to making it a grand success.

The upcoming Centenary Celebrations will feature a series of events that will reflect the proud heritage of our institution. From seminars and workshops to cultural programmes and exhibitions, we have designed this event to celebrate both the achievements of the past and the advancements that lie ahead. We look forward to your active participation in these events, which will serve as a tribute to the medical excellence PMCH has nurtured over the last century.

It is with great anticipation that we await the opportunity to welcome you back to the campus, where to- gether, we will not only celebrate the past 100 years but also build on the promise of the next century of PMCH. This is our shared heritage, and together, we can make this a truly unforgettable event. Your presence will add to the grandeur of the celebration and demonstrate the enduring strength and unity of our PMCH family.

I urge you all to mark your calendars and prepare to be part of this historic occasion. Let us unite as one to honour our alma mater and ensure that the Centenary Celebrations of PMCH are remembered for years to come.

We look forward to seeing you in Patna for this momentous celebration!
