Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology

The department, led by seasoned obstetricians and gynecologists, is dedicated to providing a robust education in women’s health. These experienced leaders not only excel in clinical practice but also play a vital role in imparting knowledge to students. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on clinical experience, allowing students to gain practical exposure to women’s health through clinical rotations, obstetric care, and involvement in various gynaecological procedures. This hands-on approach ensures that students are well-prepared for the complexities of clinical practice in the field.

Students are equipped with a comprehensive understanding of maternal and fetal care, covering aspects such as prenatal care, labor management, and childbirth. Exposure to a range of gynaecological issues, including reproductive health, menstrual disorders, and menopause, enhances students’ knowledge of women’s health. The curriculum also includes practical training in surgical skills, focusing on gynaecological surgeries like hysterectomies and laparoscopic procedures, preparing students for surgical scenarios they may encounter in their practice.

Interdisciplinary collaboration is a key aspect of the department’s approach, encouraging students to work seamlessly with specialists from neonatology, endocrinology, and other fields to ensure holistic patient care. Topics such as family planning, contraception, prenatal diagnostics, and the management of obstetric emergencies are thoroughly covered, contributing to a well-rounded education. Additionally, discussions on ethical considerations, patient consent, cultural sensitivity, and global women’s health challenges prepare students for the multifaceted nature of healthcare. The department’s teachings, encompassing continual learning through seminars, case discussions, and participation in medical conferences, are crucial for future healthcare professionals seeking proficiency in managing the diverse aspects of women’s health for comprehensive patient care.
