In colonial India there were a few Medical Colleges & several other Medical Schools. Rarely do people know the difference. Medical Colleges awarded a graduation degree in medicine & surgery (which is known as M.B.B.S now) while Medical Schools awarded Licentiate in Medical Practices (L.M.P or L.M.& S). Licentiates weren’t full fledged doctors and supposed to work as assistants of doctors. They weren’t eligible to take admission in M.D or M.S unlike the graduates of Medical Colleges. Medical Colleges had a uniform curriculum governed by the Medical Council of India (before that they were governed from England) and awarded university degrees. Medical Schools weren’t governed through the Medical Council, thus no uniformity in curriculum and degrees weren't from a university. Interestingly, the Licentiate program was also of 5 years duration like a Medical degree but with less curriculum. By the end of 1938, India had 27 Medical Schools apart from 10 Medical Colleges where Stanley Medical School, Madras was considered the best.
Sir Joseph Bhore committee report of 1946 recommended the upgradation of Medical Schools to Medical Colleges, allowing licentiates to gain M.B.B.S with a bridge course & gradually discontinuing the licentiate degrees.

P.S: By India we mean India under the British crown & doesn’t include French or Portuguese colonies. #MedTwitter

Only 9 Indians qualified for Indian Medical Services between 1892 & 1902 while around 700 European doctors served in the services. One reason was that examination centre for IMS was only in London. By 1902, there were approx. 2500 Govt. owned hospitals & dispensaries while 1000 others were privately owned or special institutions (Railway etc). In 1902, around 4200 Indians were enrolled in Medical Colleges as students. #MedTwitter @_KarishmaK @autopsy_surgeon @anoobrazak @ikpsgill1 @Indian__doctor @ICMRDELHI @IMAIndiaOrg

A rare photo of Mahatma Gandhi undergoing an emergency appendectomy while still under arrest by Dr. Maddock at Sassoon Hospital, Pune on 12 January 1924.
According to reports, "While the surgery was in progress, the electric bulb went off. The appendectomy had then to be finished by the light of a hurricane lamp.” #GandhiJayanti2023

"The amount of torture inflicted in the rude attempts to reduce dislocations, to set fractures, and stop bleeding, to say nothing of the mischievous use of salves and irritants to wounds of all kinds, was appalling. Anyone who has practised a year or two in India can give numerous examples of such malpraxis. During the past year or two I have seen an attempt to drag out the upper iragment of the femur in a case of compound fracture, because it was mistaken for a piece of wood, which, it was supposed, had entered the limb, and I also know that several lives have been lost from tight bandaging in fracture, and 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐡æ𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐞."

He worked among slum dwellers & studied Cerebral Palsy, Autism & other problems associated with children. He came to England in 1975 & joined the Royal Philanthropic Society's school for delinquent children, where his previous experience was of enormous help to both the children and the staff.

Prof. Dr. Mangalore Gopal Kini was the first qualified specialist orthopaedic surgeon in India.  He did his MCh in Orthopaedics at Liverpool under the supervision of Sir Dr. Robert Jones in 1929. He completed his MBBS from Madras Medical College in 1918 & joined Medical Services. Before going to England to study surgery he served as anaesthetist with Surgeon Col. Bradfield. As there was no separate post of Orthopaedic Surgeon in any of the Collegiate Hospitals in the State of Madras Presidency except in the Government General Hospital, Madras, he was to be head of a general surgical unit at the King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam and later at the Government Stanley Hospital, Madras. #MedTwitter

Source: South Asian American Digital Archives which captions the card as
"Special congratulatory letter from Queen Victoria reads, “Queen Victoria expressed her interest and appreciation when the first Hindu woman to receive a medical degree in any country -- Dr. Anandibai Joshee -- graduated from the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1886.”
