Armed Forces Medical College

 
     
   
     
 
The Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) was set up in 1948 in the immediate post-world war period.  On the recommendations of the BC Roy Committee, remnants of the Indian Army Medical Corps units were amalgamated into one unit to create the Armed Forces Medical College.  Over the past 50 years, it has grown in its functions and has become one of the premier medical colleges of the country.
 
     
 
The college has a well stocked library with over 18000 books.  It subscribes to more than 270 international and national journals and has over 14000 bound journals.  Library has SLIM software computerised information management system which allows immediate tracing and retrieval of any publication in library.  Medline, an indexing and abstracting service covering over 3000 international journals, is also available on CD-ROM.  The library is connected to PUNE-NET and INTER-NET through a dial up modern facility.
