The '''Indian Medical Service''' (IMS) was originally established in each of the three [[Presidencies]] in the earliest days of the [[East India Company]]. The IMS was the senior of the medical services in British India. The three services were combined into one in 1897 under the control of the [[Government of India]].
From the beginning, the "ranks" of the IMS were [[Assistant Surgeon]], [[Surgeon]], [[Surgeon Major]]. In 1892, these were combined with [[military ranks]], such as Lieutenant, Captain and Major. Then, in 1898, the medical ranks were discontinued in favour of the military ranks.
