In the year 1870, the Maharaja of Vijanagaram thought of the idea of starting a Medical College in Lucknow. But the idea was refused due to lack of funds. In 1905 the visit of King-Emperor George V, the Prince of Wales, gave the idea of establishing a college in the memory of his visit. The originator of this idea to get it done on the occasion was the late Raja Sir Tassadnq Rasul Khan of Jehangirabad to whom Sir Harcourt Butler wrote a letter on 1st December 1905.
The success of this project of medical education and relief was done when the foundation stone was laid by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in 1906 and during his second visit to the Coronation Durbar as King Emperor, His Majesty was already in the idea of giving the college by his name.
The College was completed and the work of the first medical session was started in October 1911, after the opening of the college building by His Honour Sir John Prescot Hewett did not occur until January 27, 1912. The College buildings consist of a fine Administrative Block, an Anatomical block, a combined Pathological and Physiological block and a Medico-Legal Department. After the College was completed the construction of the Hospital itself was started. The work for the Out-patient Department was finished by April 1913 and the main building took a few months to complete.
The number of beds provided was 232 and behind the main Hospital block there was an Isolation Block and separate Cottage wards. The formal opening of King George's Hospital along with the opening of the New Bridge over the river Gomti which is opposite the Hospital was performed in January 1914 by the intelligence of the Viceroy Lord Hardinge.
The college has collaborations with various colleges. They are collaborated with Indian colleges such as AIIMS from Bhopal, Central Command from Lucknow, TERI University from New Delhi, Dr Shakauntla Misra from Lucknow, Command Hospital from Lucknow, Energy Resources Institute from New Delhi, AIIMS from Jodhpur, National Rehabilitation University from Lucknow. They also have international collaborations with University of Sydney from Australia, McMaster University from Hamilton, The Royal College of Physicians from Ireland and University of British from Columbia.
