Soban Singh Jeena Government Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (SSJGIMSR), Almora is a government medical college established by the Government of Uttarakhand to improve healthcare and medical education in the remote hill regions of the Kumaon division. Popularly known as Almora Medical College, the institute was established in 2022 under the sponsorship scheme of the Government of India and is affiliated with the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University, Dehradun. It is recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and currently offers MBBS education with an annual intake of 100 students.
The teaching hospital attached to the college is the Govardhan Tiwari Government Base Hospital, located around 7 kilometres from the main campus. This hospital originally had 200 beds but is being upgraded into a 500-bed tertiary-care teaching hospital. It provides extensive clinical exposure to students through departments such as General Medicine, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ENT, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Anaesthesiology and Community Medicine. Because the hospital serves a large rural and hilly population, students gain practical experience in managing both common and region-specific health problems.
