Delhi Medical Association came into existence in 1914 under the dynamic leadership of Dr. M.A. Ansari, Dr. Rai, Sahib Attar Chand, Dr. S.P. Sharoff, Abdul Rehaman & many other stalwarts of the medical profession & country. The interesting fact is that it is older than the National body which is Indian Medical Association (IMA). The first inaugural function was held on 20.8.1914 in the consulting room of Dr. Ansari in Fatehpuri Mosque.

Out of the total number of 28 medical practitioners at that time, 23 attended the meeting and thus an organisation, which has now acquired its present stature with more than 12000 members on its roll. 98 years, we have travelled a long way in health care delivery in our country.
