The Indian Ocean Medical Institute Trust (IOMIT) was established in 1996 with the avid objective of promotion of education and learning and setting up a SSR Medical College in Mauritius in the name of the 'father of the nation' late Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, who incidentally was a doctor also. Mr. R.P.N.Singh, an educationist and social planner from India is the Founder Chairman and Managing Trustee of the Trust. Being the first SSR Medical College in Mauritius, the idea was to setup & develop a campus of international standards, which would subsequently become the nerve center of medical education not only in the southern African region but in the whole of Indian Ocean Rim countries including Malaysia, India, Africa and the Gulf region. Mauritius with its stable democratic political system, vibrant and versatile culture, oriental attitude and occidental ambiance provides the right opportunity for this purpose. The land of sun, sand and shooting stars is fast emerging as a ‘knowledge hub’ and center of medical education in the Indian Ocean Rim region.
