Finally on 2 September 2003 that dream came true and the sixth Public sector Medical College with the name of Sardar Ghulam Muhammad Khan Mahar Medical College Sukkur was inaugurated by Chief Minister of Sindh Ali Mohammad Mahar in the building of Health Technician School Sukkur. The classes were started for first batch of 40 students on 15 October 2003. Sardar Ghulam Muhammad Khan Mahar Medical College Sukkur was named after Philanthropist of the area, veteran Politician and Chief Sardar of Mahar, Late Sardar Ghulam Muhammad Khan Mahar. Later on, the College was renamed on 27 December 2005 by shortening its original name to Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College (GMMMC).
