About the University Health Services
The founder of MAO College (Sir Syed Ahmad
Khan) was a strict disciplinarian and a highly health-conscious person. He
established the very first dispensary for the boarding house residents in 1882,
in the rooms adjacent to the Victoria Gate (presently office of the provost,
Sir Syed Hall South). Dr. Amir Khan, Assistant Surgeon, managed this dispensary
under the direct general supervision of the Civil Surgeon of the district. This
arrangement continued for many years. Fortunately, on 23rd April 1901, Viceroy Lord
Curzon visited/inspected the MAO College & its boarding house and wished to
make a gift/donation to the college for its immediate needs. Mr. Morrison, the
then Principal of MAO college, informed him of the need for a full-fledged
hospital for the boarding house within the college itself. Lord Curzon readily
gifted Rs 1000 for the project, and the foundation of the proposed Hospital was
laid on the same day at the present University Health Service site. Seventeen
donors of Rs 1,000/- each also contributed soon after the generous donation of
Lord Curzon.
As the MAO College was elevated to the University in 1920, the Curzon Hospital was renamed the University Health Service/University Hospital, which has been shouldering the crucial responsibility of providing medical care and treatment to the students of the entire university.
