Our department provides tertiary care obstetric and gynaecology services to railway beneficiaries from across the zone. We offer a spectrum of services, ranging from simple promotive and preventive care to more sophisticated curative surgeries and palliative medicine.
Our PG residents are equipped with good surgical skills, encouraged to develop a temper for scientific research and imbibed with a sense of service to humanity, making them amongst the best doctors in the field.
It is a matter of great pride for us that owing to the high standard of academics and patient care established in the department, OG residents of RH/PER are held in high regard within academic circles and among their peers.
