About Katihar Medical College Katihar Medical College (KMC), located in Karim Bagh, Katihar, Bihar, is a prominent medical education and healthcare institution serving the Kosi region and surrounding areas. The college was established in **1987** by the Al-Karim Educational Trust, Patna, with the objective of improving access to quality medical education and specialized healthcare in a region that historically faced limitations in educational and medical infrastructure. The institution was created with a particular focus on supporting students and communities from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds. The college is a constituent unit of **Al-Karim University, Katihar** and is managed by the Al-Karim Educational Trust. Its development has been closely associated with the Trust’s broader objectives of promoting education, research, healthcare and social welfare.

The campus brings together academic, clinical and residential facilities, including lecture theatres, laboratories, hostels, administrative buildings and healthcare services.
