The history of Jamia Hamdard began when it was established as a small Unani Clinic in the year 1906. The clinic was established by the Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed, who was a popular practitioner of Unani System of Medicine of his time. Even though, its journey began in the year 1906, it was actually awarded the status of Deemed to be university on the 1st of August 1989.
