GOVERNMENT MEDICAL COLLEGE & HOSPITAL OMANDURAR (GMCOMU) The emblem of Government Medical College & Hospital Omandurar (GMCOMU) features a Staff of Hermes or Staff of Caduceus with a pair of wings and entwined by a pair of serpents supported by a pair of hands and its address and its year of establishment. These are ensconced by a blue banner inscribed with the name of the college. The assemblage is supported by a blue banner inscribed with the motto of the college ‘Righteous Reverent Resilient’. The staff with the snake has long been a symbol of medicine and the medical profession. It originates from the story of Asclepius, who was revered by the ancient Greeks as a god of healing and whose cult involved the use of snakes. The supporting hands refer to the support for medicine and medical education.
