 Department
of Dermatology &
Venerology, Amala
Institute of Medical
Sciences
The origin of Amala
dates way back to 1978,
when it was exclusively
a cancer hospital,
catering to the needs of
the terminally ill. It
attained the status of a
medical college in 2003.
Dermatology has always
been an essential part
of Amala. After being
upgraded to a medical
college, the department
was revamped in June
2005.
Since then the
department strives to
provide quality health
service along with
contributions to the
field of Dermatology and
Cosmetology by means of
research and various
academic activities.
