Sagore Dutt Charitable Hospital and Dispensary initially started as a philanthropic organization with an objective of all round health care of the poor peasants and industrial workers of Kamarhati and adjoining areas. Its immense service to fulfill the objectives was recognized when the then Medical Secretary, Dr. Anderson, on his India tour, visited ‘a rural hospital and dispensary situated outside Calcutta, the Sogore Dutt Charitable Hospital and Dispensary’ in January, 1937.[4] The institute was taken over by the Government of West Bengal when it passed the Sagore Dutt Hospital Act, 1958.[5]

Considering the dearth of medical professionals in West Bengal with the Doctor:Population ratio of 1:2600, Government of West Bengal decided to start a new medical college with a capacity of 100 MBBS student, in a strategic location of Kamarhati, which is the gateway of North Kolkata. In 2010, the Government of West Bengal issued a memo in which a sanction was accorded to set up a medical college, with an intake of 100 MBBS students, in the campus of the Sagore Dutt Hospital.[6] The main objective was to cater mainly to the rural population of West Bengal and particularly to reduce the overcrowding of the existing medical colleges in Kolkata. Moreover, this medical college will become the main referral centre for the neighbouring districts of North Kolkata in future and is planned to be the biggest state-run medical college of West Bengal.

After the inspection by M.C.I. team in 2011, Letter of Permission was received by the Authority of College of Medicine & Sagore Dutta Hospital on 30/06/2011 .
