GMERS Medical College and Civil Hospital, Porbandar is a government-society medical institution established in 2022 under the Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS), managed by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Gujarat. It received its Letter of Permission (LOP) from the National Medical Commission (NMC), New Delhi on 18/08/2022 — among the first batch of new medical colleges under the Central Government Sponsored Scheme for Establishment of New Medical Colleges attached with existing District/Referral Hospitals — Phase III. The college is affiliated with Bhakta Kavi Narsinh Mehta University (BKNMU), Junagadh — a UGC-recognized state university named after the celebrated 15th-century poet-saint Narsinh Mehta, who composed the beloved bhajan 'Vaishnav Jan To' (a song Mahatma Gandhi cherished as his personal anthem). The first NMC renewal has been approved and is published on the official portal, confirming continued regulatory compliance. GMERS Medical College, Porbandar holds a distinction shared by no other GMERS campus: it is located in Porbandar — the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi (born October 2, 1869 at Kirti Mandir, Porbandar) and of Sudama, the legendary childhood friend of Lord Krishna. The campus is situated at the GNM Nursing School, Subrata Road, MG Road, Porbandar–360575, on the shores of the Arabian Sea — making it the only GMERS college on the Arabian Sea coast and one of the most scenically distinctive medical campuses in Gujarat. Porbandar is well-connected by rail (Porbandar Railway Station — Western Railway) and road (National Highway 27). The nearest airport is Porbandar Airport (~3 km from city centre), one of the closest airport-to-college distances among all GMERS campuses. Rajkot is approximately 120 km away (~2 hours by road), and Junagadh approximately 100 km. The teaching hospital is the Civil Hospital, Porbandar — a 330-bed tertiary care hospital (some sources cite 330 beds, while the college describes it as a 'Tertiary care 330 bedded Hospital') comprehensively equipped with casualty beds, ICU (Intensive Care Unit), ICCU (Intensive Cardiac Care Unit), NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), Laboratory, Blood Bank, Radiology Department, Operation Theatre, Labour Room, CSSD (Central Sterile Services Department), and Pharmacy Department. This level of tertiary care infrastructure — ICU, ICCU, and NICU — in a 330-bed district hospital is noteworthy for a coastal city of Porbandar's size (~550,000 population) and gives students access to genuine critical care clinical training from early clinical postings. The 30-acre campus at GMERS Porbandar houses all 20 departments across pre-clinical (Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology), para-clinical (Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Pharmacology, Pathology, Community Medicine/PSM, Microbiology), and clinical streams (Medicine, Dermatology Skin & VD, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, ENT, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Anaesthesia, Radiodiagnosis, Dentistry). The college website is among the most actively maintained in the GMERS network — with month-wise Duty Rosters for Doctors and Nursing Staff published regularly (March 2026, February 2026, January 2026, November 2025, October 2025, September 2025, August 2025 all documented), indicating rigorous institutional administration. The Sr/JR New Marking Pattern (January 2026), Interview Notices, Tentative Vacant Faculty Posts (January 2026), Faculty Lists submitted to NMC (monthly — July 2025), and Instruction for Contractual Appointment (December 2025) are all published, reflecting a high standard of administrative transparency. Academic resources are comprehensive: First MBBS Timetable, Second MBBS Timetable, Clinical Posting Timetable (All Semester), Second Year Fees Structure, First Internal Examination Schedule, and First Year MBBS Examination Papers are all published on the official portal. The college has 30 awards and achievements (official homepage). Campus statistics: 121 doctors, 300 students, 30 awards, 40 staff (official homepage). Dean Dr. Sushil Kumar leads the academic institution, and Dr. Gaurav Bhambhani serves as Medical Superintendent of the GMERS Civil Hospital Porbandar. A unique feature of the official portal is the inclusion of government initiative links — PM CARES Fund, DigiLocker, Chief Electoral Officer Gujarat, and National Portal of India — reflecting GMERS Porbandar's commitment to digital India governance. The college also has a Poster/Slogan gallery section and a dedicated News Photos section in addition to College, Cultural, and Hospital Photo galleries — the most diverse gallery structure among the newer GMERS colleges.
