 iv PREFACE PREFACE v

The recent elections have amply demonstrated the resilience and maturity
of the Indian electorate, notwithstanding the lack of education and
minimal literacy. It is clear that people in rural and semi-urban areas
have acquired the ability to read newspapers in their vernacular
language. They are also exposed to the electronic media and can, by and
large, understand the political scenario in the country. The overwhelming
mandate given to the UPA is just short of a majority. The Congress party
has improved its performance as compared to the last time. One notable
result has been that three trouble-making parties have been eliminated.
Dr Manmohan Singh and Mrs Sonia Gandhi have managed to field a
team of Ministers who have the following attributes:
• All those with criminal backgrounds and money-making propensities
have been eliminated.
• Each ministry is headed by a senior politician with an unenviable track
record.
• Many of the younger brigade have been drafted to impart their
knowledge and experience to the ministries. Some of the Ministers of
State have independent charge, and each such dignitary is capable,
knowledgeable, honest and is a person of integrity.
The real point in this introduction is that the Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare has gone to Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad as Minister of State
with independent charge. He is a former Chief Minister of Jammu and
Kashmir and has made remarkable efforts to bring peace to the state. I
have great hopes that he will be able to solve the problems ailing the
healthcare scenario:
education and sound training as compared to their counterparts
who have opted for PG degrees in universities.
• The NBE has been conducting many unique features such as:
– Holding periodic appraisals
– Holding seminars to equip teachers to teach properly
– Holding meetings of examiners to outline the correct attitude
towards theory and practical examinations.
– Making available the Internet/satellite through IGNOU, thus
enabling interactive CMEs
– Keeping pass percentage within reasonable limits.
If the failure rate is high, students will hesitate to join the DNB course,
which in turn will get a bad name, and then only substandard students
will join. All institutions interested in training DNB students must be
committed to uphold strong core values to ensure that the objective is
achieved.
Dr K.C. MAHAJAN
Chairman
Department of Academics

1. The National Board of Examinations (NBE) will need a complete

restructuring (kayakalp)
(a) The DNB must be given a statutory status so that it can be
regarded as equivalent to MD/MS of any university.
(b) A DNB-qualified person would therefore qualify for a job in any
medical college or superior service, e.g. the army, railways and
other statutory organizations.
(c) The governing body stands dissolved as of 28 May 2009. A
governing body with a strong secretariat should ensure the
following:
• Accreditation of only those institutions that have a competent
infrastructure, load of patients, modern laboratory investigative
facilities, operation theatre facilities, faculty who can carry a
teaching load and get involved in research.
• With a smaller number of institutions accredited, students who
missed the admissions to MD/MS can be ensured quality medical
 ACADEMICS 1

Chairperson: Dr K.C. MAHAJAN

The Academic Committee was given the status of a Department of Academics

in the year 2002 under the chairmanship of Dr K.C. Mahajan. The following
are the activities of the Department:
• Structuring and publishing a single comprehensive booklet every six
months in January and July, which has the academic schedule of all the
departments. The Department ensures that the DNB curriculum is strictly
adhered to along with periodic meetings with the DNB students of each
department so that an adequate feedback is available.
• Arranging faculty lectures by outstanding people from India and abroad in
their areas of expertise. These have a dual advantage as the hospital is
exposed to the visiting faculty and the consultants and residents upgrade
their knowledge.
• Encouraging CME activities which are recognized for accreditation
by the Delhi Medical Council. The Department also encourages the
holding of seminars, workshops, panel discussions and journal clubs.

The Department of Academics has a Medical Illustration Unit, headed by

Mr Sansar Thakur, which offers the following services:
• Providing secretarial assistance to students and faculty for the
preparation of slides and processing data for publication.
• Accessing the internet to make available material required to write papers.
• Providing the latest LCD/ DLP projection facilities.
• Making available a 24-hour internet service.
• Recording of clinical combined rounds, faculty lectures, first of the month
clinical meetings, seminars, symposia and public awareness lectures.
• Taking digital photographs of patients in the OPD and wards.
• Scanning of X-rays/ CT/ MRI and 35 mm slides.
• Running a basic computer course for DNB students.
• Giving live demonstrations of various procedures. There is a permanent
fibre-optic cable from the main Operation Theatre, Cardiac Operation
Theatre, Endoscopic Room, Academic Room and Department of Minimal
Access Surgery to the main Auditorium and Seminar Room. This is
manned by in-house staff.
• Conducting a clinical meeting on the first of every month in which
individual departments present their achievements and latest trends
in their respective fields. Four of these meetings in a year are in the form
of clinicopathological conferences, for which the speaker is an invited
faculty member from among the best known institutions of India. It is a
matter of great pride that the hospital has such a large wealth of good
and interesting clinical data, because of which the Department has been
able to regularly conduct clinicopathological conferences of high quality.
• Publishing a quarterly Hospital Newsletter, which highlights the hospital’s

academic and social activities, and also invites articles from consultants Date Day Department
on subjects other than medicine.
• Ensuring an environment conducive to effective learning. The Department 01.07.09 Wednesday Urology
has a library with a paper as well as an electronic section. 03.08.09 Monday Psychiatry
• Managing the hospital website and regularly updating information 01.09.09 Tuesday Neurosurgery

Chairperson: Dr P.K. CHOWBEY
The Minimal Access, Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Centre is the first
and only one of its kind in the Asian subcontinent. The Centre is actively
working on the development of new techniques and improvement of
present techniques in Minimal Access Surgery and Bariatric Surgery. It
also imparts basic and advanced training in Minimal Access Surgery to
visiting surgeons from India and abroad.
The Centre conducts the following training programmes:
a. Post-doctoral fellowship
A post-doctoral fellowship course in Minimal Access Surgery recognized by
the National Board of Examinations, New Delhi. The Department admits two
fellows after theoretical examination and interview. The duration of the
course is two years.
b. Fellowship
Departmental fellowship courses where four fellows are admitted
simultaneously for three months’ training.
c. Basic training course
A formal basic training course in Minimal Access Surgery is held every two
months. The duration of the course is five days. The dates for the forthcoming
courses are:
06–10 July 2009 (Mon–Fri)
14–18 September 2009 (Mon–Fri)

h. Observership
Observership courses where a batch of six observers undergo two weeks’
training.
i. Clinical fellowship in endoscopic hernia surgery
Endoscopic hernia repair is being increasingly performed by surgeons
practising minimal access surgery. A large volume of these procedures are
conducted in our department. In an effort to provide high quality practical
training, the Department has established a structured training course in
various aspects of laparoscopic hernia repair. The duration of the course will
vary from 4 to 8 weeks (depending on the experience of the surgeon). The
above fellowship is stipendiary.
j. Courses for staff nurses and OT technicians
Minimal access surgery is the future. It is a highly specialized, technology-
