Baroda state had no organized medical service throughout its length and breadth. It was during the regime of the old Baroda state that the Medical Union was formed in 1938-39.

Dr. R. B. Chandrachud, the then Chief Medical Officer of the state Hospital (Now SSG Hospital) was the first President of the union. Dr. P. V. Pendse was the Hon. Secretary. The meetings of this union were held in the entrance hall of the administrative building of state hospital (Shri Sayaji General Hospital) .

Initially the private medical practitioners were few. As the time went by the private medical practitioners grew. They established a private medical practitioner’s union and had their meetings in the building of the Fatehsingh Library at Kothi. Know more about us.....
