Guwahati: Peerless Hospital Guwahati, the city’s leading super-speciality hospital, has reinforced its Academic–Clinical Partnership with Assam Royal Global University, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) earlier this year.
With the region facing an urgent shortage of trained healthcare professionals and an increasing need for industry-integrated education, the collaboration has already begun generating impact.
Since the MoU, Peerless Hospital has facilitated multiple clinical exposure sessions, specialist-led lectures and structured industry experiences for students of the Royal School of Medical & Allied Sciences (RSMAS). These initiatives have provided students with hands-on learning in a real hospital environment, ensuring that medical education remains aligned with contemporary healthcare challenges.
Under the partnership, RSMAS students will continue to receive opportunities across clinical training, internships, research, and academic exchange—bridging classroom learning with real-world medical practice in Eastern India.
The MoU was signed by Dr Gautam Kr Das, CEO, Peerless Hospital Guwahati; Dr Pranab Barua, Medical Superintendent & Director, Emergency Department, Peerless Hospital Guwahati; Dr Diganta Munshi, Registrar (Administration), The Assam Royal Global University; and Dr Abhijit Dutta, Dean, RSMAS, The Assam Royal Global University.
“We are witnessing a transformative period in healthcare, where the demand for highly skilled professionals far exceeds supply—especially in northeastern India,” said Dr Gautam Kr Das, CEO, Peerless Hospital Guwahati. “This partnership is helping address that gap meaningfully. By ensuring structured, specialised clinical exposure for students, we are preparing a workforce that is confident, competent, and ready for the future.”
He added that Peerless Hospital is committed to driving knowledge exchange beyond its own infrastructure. “The need for industry-integrated medical education has never been higher. Our teams have already conducted several sessions at the university, and we remain open to partnering with more institutions that share our vision for skill development and healthcare capacity building in the Northeast.”

Since its inauguration in July, Peerless Hospital Guwahati has undertaken several community initiatives, including speciality OPDs, health camps, preventive screening drives, and neighbourhood wellness programmes. These efforts, along with the hospital’s academic collaborations, reflect its broader mission to improve healthcare quality, awareness, and accessibility across the region.
