Indira Gandhi Govt Medical College and Hospital gets permission for 10 more PG Medical Seats in 3 specialities

While commenting on the permission for 7 more PG seats, the HOD of Paediatics Department, Dr Chandrashekhar Bokde told the daily, “The department has three units that fulfill the criterion of National Medical Commission, required for 150 MBBS seats. With the addition of 50 more seats, now the department needs one complete unit. The process of raising one unit is underway. There are three 30-bed wards each plus Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) with 10 and 20 beds respectively.”

The Acting Dean of the Institute at IGGMCH, Dr Bhavna Sonawane had tried to increase the PG medical seats in the Radiology Department and after completing the inspection, NMC approved two more seats to the department. While for a long time, the department was running without MRI, now it has all the facilities for catering to the needs of the patients.

Only one seat has been increased in the Department of Dermatology Venereology and Leprosy (VDL), popularly known as ‘Skin’. Medical Dialogues had last year reported that NMC had given its nod for 3 PG medical seats at the Dermatology Department from the academic year 2022-2023.

The norms specify that for three PG seats in the Skin Department, one Professor, one Associate Professor, one Lecturer and one Senior Resident are necessary. Apart from fulfilling this condition, IGGMCH has an addition of three Junior Residents

While IGGMCH fulfilled these conditions, it also has three Junior Residents in the Department and now it has received the permission for one more PG medical seat in the department. 

The daily adds that now people will also be able to avail the hair transplant facilities at the institute at affordable cost. Now the Department offers such facilities since the HoD Dr Mishra has done a fellowship in Hair Transplant.
