Bellary Medical College now renamed Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences, located in Bellary, is run by the government of Karnataka.The campus of Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences is situated in the former Allipur Jail Buildings which has long history. The history reveals those great freedom fighters including Sri. Chakravarthi Rajgopalachary, Sri. V.V. Giri, Sri. Bejawada Gopala Reddy, Sri. Ghantasala Venkateshwara Rao, Sri. Tekur Subramanya etc.; were lodged in this jail. This jail was closed in 1958 and the old buildings and entire area of 173 acres (0.70 km2) was handed over by the Government to start the Medical College in Bellary in 1961. It has grown into prestigious institution over the last 42 years despite awful shortage of staff, lack of infrastructure and other facilities. To overcome the shortcomings the Medical College was made autonomous Institution “Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences, Bellary” in 1996. Now this medical college has largely overcome its shortage of staff, due to recruitment of new staff started by the previous Director of VIMS Dr.Khaja Naseeruddin and now by the present Director Dr.B.Devanand. The Medical College Hospital was commissioned in 1966 and has bed strength of 680 beds. The District Hospital is situated in the heart of city and is spread over an area of 15 acres (61,000 m2) and has bed strength of 210 for the pediatrics, Gyanecology and Post Partum Cases. Recently 20 bedded Infosys ward was added for the treatment of Japanese Encephalitis cases. To bring all departments under one roof, for the purpose of better-coordinated teaching and better treatment to the patients even these two departments of Gynaecology and Paediatrics department will be shifted to VIMS campus before the end of this year to the newly constructed wards in the VIMS campus.
