SN Medical College appoints haematologist, first in State
Jodhpur: The SN Medical College of Jodhpur has recently appointed its first haematologist Dr Govind Patel as assistant professor at the medicine department of the SN Medical College. Dr Patel is first haematologist in the state.
Earlier, none of the hospital had haematologists providng services to the patients suffering from blood related diseases.
Now with this appointment the patients suffering from life threatening diseases like blood cancer, bone marrow transplant, haemophilia, thalassemia, bleeding disorder, thrombosis etc and many genetic disorders related to blood will be benefited.
Speaking over the shortage of haematologist in the state, Patel said that haematology is an upcoming branch now but still there are only about a dozen seats for doctor in medicine (DM) in haematology in entire country.
