“The department is best among all the departments known to me. All the
faculty of department is very helpful and like a family. They are well experience

observe Post mortem in Sasoon hospital as a part of departmental schedule.
Because of this I could get life time experience observation of post mortem

to handle several poisoning and injury cases.”
