Deccan Alumni Association of North America (DAANA) was founded in 2016 by a group of Indian-American physicians from Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, India. DAANA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the state of Virginia. There are several hundred physicians and surgeons from DCMS settled in USA and Canada. There are several hundred more doctors from the medical school settled across the globe in England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and other countries. 

DAANA was started in an effort to connect all DCMS alumni settled abroad and to bring them on one unified platform. Our mission statement is “to foster collaborative relationships between alumni of  Deccan College of  Medical Sciences through educational and cultural programs and to help the underprivileged through philanthropic activities.”
