[edit] History
It was envisioned as a teaching affiliate to University College of Medical Sciences and as such it can trace its history parallel to that of UCMS.
UCMS was founded in the year 1971, due to the efforts of the then Health Minister of New Delhi. It was proposed by the minister to provide medical education to every student who attained the eligibility criteria and wished to become a doctor. The criteria being stringent (minimum 60% aggregate), but it still caused a 100 or so students to be left out, even with the presence of two Medical Colleges in Delhi - MAMC and LHMC. That year classes began in the makeshift Department of Chemistry, Delhi University, North Campus. This was to become the UCMS of tomorrow. It then started having its clinical postings (practicals) at Meerut Medical College. Shortly, it was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital in South Delhi.
In 1986, it shifted to its present location at Dilshad Garden and was associated with Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, a 1000 bedded institution, as its teaching hospital.
Thus GTBH actually became functional in 1986 though construction was over in 1979 and some departments began functioning before 1987.
