Dibrugarh, Aug 26: In a landmark recognition, the Government of India has designated Assam Medical College & Hospital (AMCH), Dibrugarh, as a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Rare Diseases under the National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD), 2021.

The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (Rare Disease Cell), through an official memorandum issued on Tuesday, approved the inclusion of AMCH among premier government tertiary hospitals equipped for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of rare diseases.

With this designation, AMCH becomes the first medical institute in Assam and the Northeast to receive this prestigious recognition, joining only 15 such Centres of Excellence nationwide.

The memorandum specifies that AMCH will carry out its responsibilities in line with the provisions of NPRD 2021 and the guidelines issued by the Ministry from time to time.

This recognition is expected to significantly enhance specialized healthcare services and medical research in rare and complex diseases, benefiting patients not only from Assam but across the Northeastern region.
