The University started functioning from 1st November in the same year.
The objectives of the University are:
The university advocates and promotes improvisation of available natural resources for preparation of medicines for cure of human ailments, thereby bringing out the true spirit of the ancient proverb in scriptures” Vaidyo Narayano Harihi”
By establishment of the university, all disciplines of health sciences are brought under one roof: namely modern medicine, ancient Indian systems of medicine, allied health sciences like dentistry, physiotherapy, nursing, paramedical sciences.

The governing bodies of the university are the Executive Council, Finance Committee, Academic Senate, Boards of studies and the Planning board. The first chancellor of the university was none other than Padmashree Late Dr N T Rama Rao garu. Presently, the Hon’ble Governor of Andhra Pradesh is the Chancellor.
Recognition and financial assistance by UGC: The University has been included in the list of universities maintained by UGC, and a committee has been constituted to assess the credibility of the university to receive central assistance, the report of which has been submitted to the UGC.

However, the state government ensures continued provision of adequate recurring grants to the university for maintenance of the activities of teaching, research and extension.
The University is rapidly expanding its services in all faculties i.e., super specialities in modern medicine and postgraduate courses in all other faculties. Proposals are under active consideration for starting new certificate and fellowship courses in the specialities which are in demand, designed as per the existing disease profile in Andhra Pradesh.
Apart regular academic activities the university also conducts and sponsors CMEs, teacher training programs, seminars, workshops, orations, guest lectures by eminent personalities etc. These are conducted either at the university headquarters or in the premises of the affiliated colleges.

The executive council has constituted a corpus fund of Rs.10,00,000/- for conducting Continued Medical Education and medical Research activities. The interest accrued on the deposit is utilised for the purpose. Financial assistance is provided to affiliated colleges and Professional associations for organising these programs.
In the last few years, Medical education has been undergoing remarkable changes, with a greater emphasis on need based education, which is more community oriented than hospital oriented. To meet the changing needs, the university has been collaborating with national and international universities and health agencies.
The targets ahead for the university are:
Prizes and medals for academic excellence: These are instituted by the university as well as by the generous contribution and donation from donors and philanthropic organisations. About 70 prizes and medals are instituted in almost all the faculties, in each speciality. These are distributed at the time of convocation. In addition, Endowment Orations are conducted every year in the name of parents/relatives of alumni of Medical colleges.
Publications: The university journal is launched in March 2012 by the Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Prof. I.V.Rao. It is a quarterly journal which covers research articles received from all the affiliated colleges and from research institutions outside the purview of the University. Quality research is encouraged by strict scrutiny by peer reviews and the journal is soon expected to find its place in the index medicus.
In addition, every year the university is honouring eminent personalities in distinguished fields who significantly contributed to the cause of medical science with the award of D.Sc. The awardees are selected by the Executive Committee. The awards are presented to them at the time of convocation by the Chancellor of the university.
