It is one of the few modern institutions in Vizag that spans almost two centuries of continuous service; what started as a humble Army-dispensary in 1845 during the British regime, King George Hospital – popularly known as KGH – has eventually grown to become the biggest General Hospital in Coastal Andhra as well as southern Odisha. The original construction of 1923 is built with dressed-stone masonry. It consists of majestic symmetrical three-storied buildings with a four-storied clock-tower in the centre. Its regal countenance is not only awe-inspiring, but has become a part of the grand heritage of Vizag ever since it adorned the city’s landscape.
After exclusively serving the British standing army of Madras Presidency since its inception in 1845, it was converted in 1857 into a civil hospital with 30 beds. It was the first public hospital with in-patient facilities in the city. Many years later, it was substantially upgraded. On July 19 1923, Dewan Bahadur Sri Panaganti Ramayaningar – popularly known as Raja of Panagal – the then Chief Minister (as well as the Minister of Public Health) of the Madras Province inaugurated the new building and christened it after the then British Monarch, as King George Hospital. The new complex housed the improved facilities with 192 beds and specialised treatments along with a medical college (the present Andhra Medical College) in its precincts. It was all possible due to the Government of India Act–1919, popularly known as Montague-Chelmsford reforms, passed by the British Government in 1919 as a step towards Indian Self Governance.

Many believe that online business directories and listing websites are a digital version of Yellow pages, but that’s not true. They are comprehensive channels that allow prospective customers, business owners, and professionals to identify and contact businesses relevant to them.
