ESIC Medical College & Hospital, Beltola is a government medical college and hospital located in the Beltola area of Guwahati, Assam, India. It is part of the network of medical colleges established by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, aimed at expanding medical education and healthcare delivery, particularly for insured workers and the general public.

The college was approved by the Government of India in 2024 as part of an initiative to establish new ESIC medical colleges across the nation. The decision was announced by central and state government officials as a major development to strengthen healthcare infrastructure in Assam and the broader Northeast region. The establishment was welcomed by local political leadership, noting the enhanced access to medical education and treatment it would provide.[3]
In October 2025, the National Medical Commission (NMC) granted a Letter of Permission (LOP) allowing the institution to commence academic activities with an initial intake of 50 MBBS seats for the 2025–26 academic year.
