Noida: Bringing good news to the postgraduate medical aspirants, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has granted permission to the Sector 39 district hospital in Noida to launch a post-graduate Diplomate of National Board (DNB) Programme in two specialities.

While the institute has received approval for two seats in the gynecology department, one seat has been granted in the medicine department of the institute. 

DNB programme is a three-year course and it is equivalent to Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Master of Surgery (MS) courses. NBEMS, an autonomous organisation under the Union Health Ministry, gives permission to private and government hospitals including district hospitals to run DNB courses in various specialties. Such approval is granted by NBEMS if the hospitals meet the eligibility criteria and infrastructural requirements.
