In addition to central library the department has its own well stocked library having more 150 books and scientific journals related to the specialty which are available for reading and reference as and when needed.
Vision
Background:
Dermatological diseases afflict a great majority of population and often comprise more than 60% of patients attending outdoor department of any hospital. However, dermatology as such remains an underappreciated specialty in general despite significant understanding of pathogenesis of various dermatological diseases and advances made in the field of therapeutics. This department is envisioned to overall development of the specialty particularly towards patient care, medical education and research.
Objectives:
- To have state of the art Infrastructure and equipment
- Manpower development
- To train postgraduate students in all aspects of the specialty including in Dermatosurgical procedures and Cosmetology
- To strengthen research activities
To create a dermatological health service delivery system that is-
- Focused on diagnosis and treatment through multidisciplinary approach rather than as medico-technical services
- accessible and affordable, and has minimum referral
- of international standards
- sustainable in the long run
Strategies:
To achieve above objectives following strategies are being followed/envisioned:
- Infrastructure and equipment development- Additional space and equipments will be needed for fully functional sub-specialties such as
- well equipped minor operation theater for dermatosurgical procedures like hair transplant surgery, vitiligo surgery, etc.
- Separate functional unit for Trichology,
- Separate functional LASER treatment unit,
- Separate functional unit for cosmetology,
- Separate isolation ward, and intensive care unit for dermatology emergencies like life threatening drug reactions, pemphigus, erythroderma, etc.
- Manpower development by - teaching and training of postgraduate students in all aspects of the specialty including in dermatosurgical procedures and Cosmetology. Additional faculty members and senior residents will be needed.
- Planning and execution of research activities by- establishment of well equipped research lab with in-house facility for biochemical, pathological, microbiological immunological, serological and other molecular/genetic studies related to the specialty. This will require strengthening of existing biochemistry, pathology, and microbiology laboratories with equipment/machinery and well trained manpower.
- Multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment by- coordinating with other departments (expected to be well developed by then) specially Pathology, Microbiology including mycology, virology, and mycobacteriolgy, Radiodiagnosis Radiotherapy & Oncology, Medicine, Surgery, Medicine, Endocrinology and Pediatrics for the diagnosis and treatment of dermatological diseases.
- To develop a dermatological health service delivery system by -
- developing andrology, geriatric, pediatric and adolescent dermatology units. Additional faculty members and senior residents will be needed.
- participating/interacting in Clinicopathologic conferences, Seminars, CMEs and Conferences at International, National, Regional levels. Govt must allow for such participations without limitations.
- regular treatment updates on standard (national and international) guidelines for various dermatological disorders, sexually transmitted infections & AIDS, and leprosy.
- following principles of pharmacoeconomics to make the treatment cost effective and affordable for most of the patients.
- providing community services as per govt policies.
