The '''Subordinate Medical Department''' (sometimes abbreviated to Sub Medical Department) was the uncovenanted branch of the medical service (as opposed to the covenanted [[Indian Medical Service]]). Therefore Formed by the [[East India Company]] to provide medical services to Indian Natives in 1812, this service lasted until Independence. The staff were mainly recruited locallyin India and the senior positions were occupied by persons of British origin. In later years, [[Anglo-Indian]]s and then native Indians were able to gain the more senior positions.
