A long history
It should be remembered that the origin of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Castilla-La Mancha, which today is based in the Posada del Rosario Albacete, is the Society of Medicine and Surgery of Albacete, which was established in 1968 as a private association for the promotion and study of medical sciences in all its branches.
But on December 20, 2018, an extraordinary general meeting was convened in which the modified statutes were approved unanimously and the dissolution of the Society of Medicine and Surgery of Albacete was also voted for the creation of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Castilla-La Mancha (AMCLM).
