From the Desk of the Director…

It is my privileged honor to submit the Annual Report of All India Institute of Medical Sciences
(AIIMS), Jodhpur for the year 2019-2020.

AIIMS, Jodhpur is one of the six AIIMS established under the PMSSY scheme and granted status
as an Institute of National Importance.

Since its beginning in 2012, AIIMS Jodhpur has grown in the fields of medical education, patient
care and research. 100 MBBS and 60 B.Sc. (Hons.) students were admitted to our institution in the
current year. The MBBS students of 2014 batch completed their internship and passed out of the
institute. Many students have secured admission in post graduate programs at Institutes of National
Importance such as AIIMS, PGIMER Chandigarh, etc. The third batch of B.Sc. nursing also passed
out this year and many of them are pursuing post graduation in various AIIMS. The first post-
graduate student of AIIMS Jodhpur passed out of its portals this year. Students from all over the
country joined the institute in various post-graduate, super-speciality and PhD courses. All these
testify that AIIMS Jodhpur has established its presence as a centre of excellence on the national
forum for medical education, training and patient care.The School of Public Health, the first of its
kind at any AIIMS, admitted another batch and continued its growth during this year

The hospital services grew in the year 2019-2020 with an increase in OPD and IPD services along
with laboratory investigations. There has been an increase in all kinds of major and minor surgical
procedures during the period.

The Faculty members of the Institute received research funding from intramural as well as
extramural funding agencies, and shared their research at various national and international
scientific conferences. Their contributions were duly recognized and awarded by scientific
organizations and societies. Faculty members were committed towards imparting knowledge and
skills to the students. The students were provided a comfortable environment for their overall

growth and development. They excelled both in academics and extra-curricular activities during the
year and brought laurels to the institute. Research aptitude was inculcated amongst them through
ICMR-STS research program and institutional research activities.

It was a matter of great pride and honor for the institute as Shri Ram Nath Kovind,
the Hon’ble President of India graced the Second Convocation and awarded medals to
meritorious students. Shri Ram Nath Kovind, the Hon’ble President of India also laid the foundation
stone for Administrative Block at AIIMS, Jodhpurt. The Institute was also priviledged to host
Shri Kalraj Mishra, the Hon’ble Governor of Rajasthan; Shri Ashok Gehlot, the Hon’ble
Chief Minister of Rajasthan; Dr. Harsh Vardhan, the Hon’ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare,
Government of India; Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, the Hon’ble Minister of Jal Shakti,
Government of India; Shri P. P. Chaudhary, the Hon’ble Members of Parliament and Member of our
Institute Body; Shri C. P. Joshi; Shri Narayan Lal Panchariya and Prof. S. C. Sharma, the President
of AIIMS Jodhpur. All the distinguished dignitaries inspired the students and awarded them degrees.

The institute also achieved a major landmark with the establishement of India- Sweden Healthcare
Innovation Centre. This Centre will be the hub for medical technology innovation in the years to
come and work towards providing affordable and scalable technologies in the field of healthcare.

AIIMS Jodhpur hosted various International and National Conferences that were attended by
eminent speakers and delegates from all over the world. The institute fulfilled its social responsibility
through its Social Outreach Cell and Public Awareness Lectures Series.

AIIMS Jodhpur was the mentor institute of AIIMS Gorakhpur that began its academic session in
2019. The institute also helped in setting up of the departments at AIIMS Raebareli.
As the year 2019-2020 drew to a close, the institute began its preparations to deal with the COVID-
19 pandemic. The healthcare facilities were augmented to deal with the anticipated increase in
patient load. The institute was also recognised as one of the testing labs by ICMR. AIIMS Jodhpur
began its preparations to hold online classes so as to continue the teaching and learning activities
for its students during the pandemic.

AIIMS Jodhpur continued to provide quality and affordable healthcare during 2019-2020. The
institute was thoroughly supported by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of
India and this has helped the institute grow. We owe our steady progress in manpower, resources,
facilities and infrastructure to this support. The Government of Rajasthan and Local authorities have
also been very supportive in all our endeavours. AIIMS Jodhpur aims to continue to grow in the
years to come and excel in medical education, research and patient care with the continued support
and guidance of Government of India.

This Annual report is a testament to the progress of AIIMS Jodhpur during 2019-20.

replacement surgeries, open heart surgeries, neurosurgeries, gastrointestinal surgeries, thoracoscopic
procedures, endourological procedures, major malignancy procedures, cochlear implant, advanced

The hospital services are backed by an equally robust diagnostic backbone comprising Biochemistry,
Pathology and Microbiological Laboratories, which perform an array of investigations to support the clinical
services.

31. Holi Celebration–A pre-Holi celebration was organized by students on 6 March 2020 at AIIMS Jodhpur.

32. Mentorship program

As a new entrant to the professional courses (MBBS and B.Sc. Nursing) at the AIIMS Jodhpur student
have a unique opportunity to be mentored by a faculty member and a senior medical student.
st
We have started and successfully conducted the mentorship program for all the batches since our 1
st nd
MBBS batch in 2012. Presently we have ‘Formal mentorship program’ for 1 and 2 year MBBS students
st th
(1 to 4 semester), in which each student has been assigned a faculty mentor and each faculty has
been assigned 3-4 students, and they are advised to have at least one mentorship meeting in a fortnight.
th
From 5 semester onward they become part of ‘Open mentorship program’, in which whenever they need
they can go to any faculty or they can contact coordinator mentorship program at their convenience. All
the students and faculty are part of this vibrant program. We have received good feedback from students,
faculty mentors, college administration and students’ parents. It has substantially benefitted students,
faculty and institution.
st nd
We have also started peer mentorship program along with existing faculty mentoring for 1 and 2 year
th th
students. Near-Peer mentors are undergraduate students in their 5 to 9 semesters, who have
volunteered for mentoring their junior colleagues. They are our most valuable resource and eminently
suited to be mentors because they still recall the difficulties they faced as new students and their
assistance can make college life easier and more enjoyable for new entrants.
We have also designed guidelines for mentees and mentors. For better coordination, smooth functioning
and liaison, we are regularly having meetings with faculty and peer mentors and seeking feedback from
mentees.

33. Students counseling services

Faculty of Psychiatry department is providing counseling to our students for their emotional, academic
and other psychological problems. We also have a Student Counselor for baseline assessment of
students’ personality along with ongoing interaction, personality development and counseling services.
We also organize ‘Personality development program’ for our students and receive their regular feedback
for better coordination, services and harmony.
The institute and administration understands its responsibility of creating an environment well equipped
with a mechanism beneficial for betterment and sustainable development of students and is constantly
working for it.

Information Technology Cell

AIIMS Jodhpur takes pride in stating that it has a very robust Information Technology (IT) infrastructure for
patient management, teaching and research purposes.

The IT Infrastructure
The IT infrastructure of the Institute provides state of art hardware equipment, software and internet
connectivity. Local Area Networking (LAN) network is installed using fibre optics, copper wires and Wi-Fi
routers. The high speed internet connectivity is provided by the National Knowledge Network (NKN) with
additional cyber security ensured through latest firewalls and network security services. The Institute has
latest desktops using latest Intel microprocessors, laptops, printers, scanners, bar code scanners, Kiosks etc.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in health can be broadly in four areas viz.
Education, Research, Referral, and Management of Data.

Health and Education:

When ICT is applied to medical education, it is possible to make high quality education available pan India
seamlessly.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur Page | 90

 Annual Report 2019-20

Hospital Management System:

It is common experience that work places in the health systems are not adequately governed especially in
remote areas. The management of medical colleges and district hospitals can be strengthened significantly
with the application of Hospital Management System.

Health Research:
ICT can potentially transform the medical scene in India, by bringing about a sea-change in medical research.
From traditional clinical research to the modern synthetic biology-based research, the opportunity is immense.
Work on problems such as Cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and therapy can benefit from inter
disciplinary cooperation. Medical fraternity has availed such benefits when MRI and Nuclear Imaging was
integrated into medicine a few decades ago.

Health and Management of Data:

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is a fundamental pre-requisite in using ICT seamlessly in healthcare. While
EMR is available in several forms, size, shape, and format, the Indian medical community with a specific
mandate should standardize EMR, create and establish ICT platforms for using EMR based systems, for
universal benefits.

The Computerised Patient Management System

The vision of Digital India is included in our endeavours to achieve a paperless hospital management and
Date Storage system. The CPMS was Inaugurated by Shri. Jagat Prakash Nadda, Honorable Minister of
Health and Family welfare, Government of India on 6th June 2015.
IT services include Computerised Patient Management System (CPMS), which is a single window integrated
software for managing all patient related activities of the Institute. The salient features of CPMS are as follows
- online patient registration, out patient management, admissions and in patient management, investigation
ordering and retrieval of reports, patient referral, personnel management, store distribution, equipment

maternal and child health activities. In addition, the system also caters to ancillary hospital services such as
ambulance administration, Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD), Biomedical Waste Management
(BMW), operation theatre services, ICU and Wards peripheral centers of the institution (rural and urban
healthcare centers etc.) can also be accessed from the same software. It includes a real time monitoring of
patient movement, inter-hospital transfer of all patients and their hospital information, as required.

registers at every point. The automatic debit of indent from pharmacy stock can be generated in any, OPD,
ward, theatres. Facilities like stock keeping, online tracking of pharmacy sticks with warning on low levels and
expiry date tracking are available.
All hospital equipment from bedpans to Lasers are subjected to one time online data entry and can be
subsequently tracked anywhere in the hospital after that..
Linen and laundry stores - tracking of all linen with one time data entry, issue, condemnations, and repairs all

interface for its website and Recruitment portal.

Miscellaneous
IT cell is providing Wireless Lan (Wi-Fi) services across the Teaching Block and Hospital area at AIIMS
Jodhpur. Eduroam is a global service that enables students, researchers and staff to obtain Internet
connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptop or
activating their smartphone or other portable device through Wi-Fi. This facility enables users visiting other
Eduroam enabled institutions globally to get authenticated and connected to the visiting institutions network
using their home institution ID and password for free internet access. Also the Institute can provide direct VPN
work from home facility for limited staff on emergency requests.
AIIMS Jodhpur has also started a dedicated SMS portal for all the patients who require a follow up visit. An
sms reminder for the same is sent automatically, 48 hours prior to their scheduled follow-up visit. The service
was started this year and we have already sent around 100000 messages to the patients concerned.

About the Department

The Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care at AIIMS Jodhpur is providing anaesthesia, pain
management and critical care services at par with the best in the world. Over the years, the department has
strengthened its services and has raised standards in patient care, education and research.
This year with inauguration of new D&T OT complex, total four OT complexes (sixteen operation theatre) with
five bedded high dependency unit (HDU)/Recovery room are functional at present. Intensive care unit (ICU)
services has been expanded for postsurgical and medical patients by increasing ICU beds from six to
eighteen. The peripheral anaesthesia services were strengthened for procedures in DSA room (interventional
radiology and interventional cardiology), MRI, CT scan, ECT, brachytherapy, and labour analgesia. The Pain
and Palliative Care clinic provides daily OPD services to patients suffering from acute and chronic pain.
Procedures for chronic pain management like epidural steroid injection, selective nerve root blocks, lumbar
sympathectomy, cancer pain management blocks and radiofrequency ablation procedures are being
successfully performed. Palliative care services are provided to terminally ill cancer patients.
On the academic front, in addition to regular post graduate course (8 P.G students per session) fellowship
programs are continuing in Critical Care Medicine and Paediatric Anaesthesia. During the current year, DM in
Critical Care Medicine and one-year fellowship programs in Pain and Palliative care, Neuroanaesthesia and
Neurocritical care have been approved for the July 2017 academic session. Regular seminars, case
discussion and interactive classes are held for postgraduate students and fellows in addition to clinical
teaching in operation theatres and ICU. Journal clubs are regularly conducted where articles from reputed
journal are critically appraised. During corona pandemic, after lockdown, on line classes were continued.
Department participated actively in the “Integrated teaching classes” for MBBS students, in coordination with
other departments. Along with active participation in CPC & CGR conducted by the Institute, the department
contributed two CGR during the session.
Several research projects (including intramural) were carried out in the department after approval by
institutional ethical committee. Many papers were presented in various International and National Level
conferences by faculty members and residents, some of which were also awarded.Thirty-nine papers were
published by the faculty and residents of the department during this period. We publish journal of
anaesthesiology, critical care and pain: “The Indian Anaesthetists’ Forum” Published by Wolters Kluwer India
Pvt. Ltd. (http://www.theiaforum.org). The journal is indexed with DOAJ, Emerging Sources Citation Index,
Index Copernicus, Web of Science.

th
by the successful organizing of international conference 15 APFCB 2019 at Jaipur.

Facilities And Services

Teaching:
• Undergraduate teaching
The department is actively involved in the undergraduate (MBBS and Nursing) teaching. We use latest and
innovative techniques for the teaching of the future doctors. Our lectures are both didactic and interactive
which includes audio visual presentations and group discussions during tutorials. The teaching has been
made interesting by providing food for thought using the problem-based study like objectively structured
clinical cases and practical exercises. Integrated classes with other departments are organized to generate
clinical interest and understanding of the subject. During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the UG teaching has
been continued in the form of online-lectures and case discussions.
• Post graduate training
The Department has started post graduate MD and PhD program. At present six MD students are pursuing
their studies out of which 4 joined in 2018-19 and two in Jan 2019 and July 2019 respectively. Currently 2 PhD
candidates have enrolled in 2019-20 session. The first batch of MD Biochemistry students have sailed through
in December 2019. The post-graduate training schedule is inundated with regular seminars, journal clubs,
case-discussions and attaining expertise in various laboratory techniques which the department boasts of like
flowcytometry, molecular biology techniques including but not limited to PCR, RT PCR, gel electrophoresis,
immunodiffusion, thin layer chromatography, AAS etc. All these are an important feature of the post graduate
training to keep them updated with the latest research and technology. Postgraduate students are routinely
posted in the hospital laboratory as a part of their training. There are regular online sessions of journal club,
and case discussions for the PGs and PhDs during the lockdown period of COVID-19 pandemic.

Future Plans
Biochemistry translates the knowledge of basic sciences into establishing the clinical utility of a marker,
translation into evidence of the impact on health outcomes, as well as transformational change to integrate
this new knowledge into the delivery of better care for patients. This translational research and the focus on
transformational change are crucial in demonstrating value-for-money in the laboratory medicine service. The
faculty at Department of Biochemistry is committed for advancement in diagnostic services and research
activities and has established state-of-art molecular diagnostic research lab, high end clinical laboratory for
inborn error diagnosis and the laboratories are being utilized optimally. Department has advanced in the
direction for research related to molecular studies based on projects of DNA, mRNA, miRNA expression using

encompasses seminars, journal club and case presentations. Monthly assessment and its feedback are
conducted to reinforce learning and keep the postgraduate students motivated. Our postgraduate students
have attended national conferences and presented papers.
Department has been actively involved in research and publications. Number of publications from the
department have inflated remarkably in recent year. Thesis research projects of post graduate residents are
running in the department. Faculties have submitted projects to intramural and extramural funding agencies
for grants. Our faculties are invited as speakers, resource persons and to chair the session. They are
members of prestigious associations and hold positions in scientific bodies.
Patient care has witnessed a remarkable improvement. Number of patients visiting OPDs have increased
immensely. Number of surgeries and type of surgeries have inflated significantly including microsurgical
reconstruction in trauma as well as after oncologic resection. Newer equipment procured in the department
which led to the number of new surgeries performed in department like brachial plexus surgery and cleft lip
and palate surgeries. Department has also been on forefront on patient education. Public awareness
programs have been organized inside and outside of the institute to create awareness in masses.
Department has contributed immensely for the spread of knowledge in Plastic surgery fraternity by organizing
CME and workshops. Mid-term CME of National Academy of Burns in India and hands on cadaveric workshop

The interventional set up comprises of a Biplane DSA machine with advanced interventional tools. The
intervention lab is one of the finest laboratory in the country catering to both vascular and non-vascular
procedures. The new advanced imaging techniques that have been added in the year 2019-20 include: Body
fat quantification, Lung Perfusion, Pancreatic Perfusion, Dynamic MR Lymphangiography.
In addition to the various vascular procedures being done in DSA since installation, the department has been
instrumental in starting the following:
• Mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS): further increase in number of cases during
current years.
• The past year has seen a significant increase in the number of cerebral arterio-venous malformations and
peripheral vascular diseases being treated by endovascular route in the department.
• Two cases of flow diverter placement (an advanced form of endovascular treatment for complex
intracranial aneurysms) were done successfully in the past year.
• Apart from these the various vascular interventional procedures done in the department include a wide
spectrum namely intracranial aneurysm coiling, carotid artery stenting, pre-operative embolization for
vascular tumors, embolization for bronchial arteries, gastrointestinal bleeders, post-partum hemorrhage
etc., TACE for hepatocellular carcinomas, interventions for portal hypertension namely TIPS and BRTO,
various interventions for peripheral arterial disease such as aorto-iliac and peripheral arterial angioplasties
and stenting and thrombolysis for critical limb ischemia, sclerotherapy for vascular malformations and
various image guided pain management procedures.
During the current year, one student each completed the one-year fellowship course in Vascular and
interventional Radiology, Abdominal Radiology and Thoracic Radiology. The new fellowship course in Neuro
Radiology commenced in Aug 2019. A fellowship in Pediatric Radiology has also been approved by the
academic council in the current year.
The Radiology department runs outdoor services, specialized clinic (for peripheral vascular diseases) and
inpatient services thereby making it one of the very few of its kind in India to have these facilities. This enables
the fellows and residents to be well versed with clinical management of the patients.
Several multidisciplinary conferences and meetings are conducted everyday with various departments for
better and comprehensive management of the patients as well as resident teaching.
The department is regularly organizing CMEs, public awareness programmes and guest lectures by eminent
nd st
faculty. In the current year department organized four CMEs including 2 Radiology refresher course, 1

AJNR CME, ISPR outreach programme and 3 Radiology refresher course. A CME on PVD was also
organized. A public awareness camp was held in Pali District enlightening the attendees about vascular
diseases like PVD and stroke.

About The Department :

Department of Microbiology has been providing the best possible services in the field of Academics,
diagnostics, research, Hospital Infection Control (HIC), and various other activities of this prestigious
Institution, since 2013. With firm commitment from all team-members, we have strengthened ourselves with
the ability to perform our best. The Department of Microbiology at AIIMS Jodhpur has various specialized &
super-specialized diagnostic sections engaged in providing state-of-the art diagnostics, research and hospital
infection control services. Faculty are actively engaged in teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate
medical students and offer an additional Post-Doctoral Certificate Course (PDCC) for Post-MD candidates and
DM in infectious disease (from Year 2020). The laboratory has been equipped with new automated
instruments and molecular technologies, up-to-date with international norms. The various sub-sections of the
departments are spread over three divisions: (1) The IPD lab with 24-hr services in Bacteriology, Mycology,
Mycobacteriology, Parasitology, Viral serology, Anaerobic Lab and Hospital Infection Control. We are the
regional level reference center for Antimicrobial Resistance testing for Western India (2) The OPD lab
provided Designated Microscopy (DM Centre) under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program
(RNTCP), Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) and Integrated Counselling & Testing Centre (ICTC) services
from 9.00 AM to 5.00PM for outpatients. (3) The Regional Level Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (R-
VRDL) provides various serological and molecular investigations free of cost for Rubella, CMV, HSV I & II,
Varicella, EBV, West Nile, HIV, Hepatitis A, B, C, D & E, Measles, Mumps, Dengue, Chikungunya, JE, Rabies,
various Diarrheagenic viruses, Influenza and COVID-19. Presently the laboratory is running 24 hours since
th
18 March 2020 and providing molecular testing for COVID suspect’s.
At present department has 68 staff, with 7 Faculty, 11 SR, 11 Academic JRs, 13 Laboratory Technicians, 5
Attendants and > 25 project staff including R- VRDL staff. The R-VRDL was recently upgraded from a sample
th
collection center to an ICMR-approved testing facility from 18 March 2020.
The Microbiology laboratory has started a new division ‘Special pathogens’ geared towards diagnosis of
emerging Rickettsial infections like Scrub typhus, since July 2019. A new section of Advanced Immunology
geared towards newer immunodiagnostics assay, has recently been started. Our diagnostic services in
Mycology will soon be further boosted by the upcoming DHR-Mycology section which will provide molecular
diagnostics for emerging fungal infections.
Department organizes regular sensitization class for Biomedical waste management (BMW) and hospital
infection control The department annually celebrate world hand hygiene day, World TB day, HIV day & Rabies
nd
day. Various Public lectures were organized by department on World AIDS Day on 2 December 2019, and `
th
on COVID-19 on 7 February 2020.
India has a large network of laboratories for sample collection and testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection under
Department of health education (DHR)/Indian council of Medical Research (ICMR). Under this network, 106
Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratories (VRDL) have been established throughout the country. Out of
these 31 VRDLs are upgraded for SARS-CoV-2 testing since February 29 2020. Keeping in view the expected
surge in the number of cases by mid of July, 2020, the ICMR has further approved 703 governments and 257

2 Dr. Neeraj Gupta Additional Professor

About the Department

The Department has strived through its continuous quest for achieving excellence in clinical care, academics,
research and quality improvement.
Infra structure: The number of beds in Neonatal ICU has increased from six to twelve with more focus on
delivering care to very low birthweight (VLBW) infants, including twins, triplets and newborn with birth defects.
The NICU was upgraded to have in house dedicated point of care: digital X-ray, Echo, USG, Blood gas,
Electrolytes. Facilities for therapeutic hypothermia in birth asphyxia patients and high frequency oscillatory
ventilation was created. To circumvent the limited beds in the NICU, 9 beds were created in the in-patient
block including a dedicated Low birth weight room equipped with radiant warmers to treat sick and Low birth
weight babies. Similarly, a 3 bedded stabilizing unit was created within the labour room complex for stabilizing
the sick newborns before transfer if required.
A total of 174 infants including 46 VLBW infants were managed last year in our NICU with an overall survival
rate of 89.5 %.
Faculty: The faculty strength has increased with joining of a Professor in the department
Teaching and training: The DM (Neonatology) program has further geared up with induction of two more
residents with a total of four DM residents at present.
The department has also trained healthcare professionals both within and outside the institute in quality
improvement methodology and has helped state NHM by giving inputs whenever asked for on several issues
related to improvement of newborn care.
Research: The department is quite active in research
1. It is a part of an ongoing metacentric study in assessing burden of neonatal sepsis at district hospitals in
India funded externally by gates foundation
2. ICMR has approved to fund the project for testing the hypothesis developed by the department of Heat,
Exhaustion and Micronutrient deficiency as the basic etiology of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome among
children in Muzaffarpur
3. Moreover, one of the research paper from the department was presented in the award session of
European Society of Pediatric Research 2019 apart from several oral papers and posters at National
conference.
Future planning: Expanding the NICU to 25 beds and making this department as “Newborn Resource Care
Centre” with facilities of Neonatal collaborative research, Human lactation management center, Early
intervention center, Neonatal nursing training center etc.

About The Department

The Department of Neurology has expanded its academic program as well as outpatient and inpatient
services. This year, two more candidates were inducted into the DM course started in 2018 taking the number
of Academic Senior Residents to four. Regular academic schedule including seminars, journal clubs, bedside
presentations, neuroradiology sessions, neuropsychiatry and neurology-neurosurgery grand rounds were held
regularly. Thesis protocols were submitted and work on the dissertations have been regularly updated. The
outpatient and in-patient services have grown significantly. Approximately 12137 patients are seen in the
outpatient and around 593 patients are admitted in the wards for evaluation and management this year. Many
patients have also been admitted from Emergency to the HDU and ICU for neurological problems. A robust
stroke team has been put in place now and a total of 115 stroke patients were admitted under Neurology
alone of which 28 patients received intravenous thrombolysis and two underwent mechanical thrombectomy in
addition by the department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology. Ten patients underwent emergency
decompressive craniectomies as a lifesaving procedure in stroke patients by the department of Neurosurgery.
This year was a landmark year as the Neurology department initiated the Comprehensive Epilepsy Surgery
Program at AIIMS, Jodhpur. The Program aims to provide treatment options for difficult to treat epilepsies and
envisages the team approach. After a collective decision by the Epilepsy Board where all investigations are
reviewed, a surgical plan is devised inclusive of intraoperative electrophysiological and neuroimaging
th
assessment. The first patient was operated on 20 November 2019. Since then 9 patients have been
operated with Engel class I outcome in 8 patients. Electrophysiology services have further expanded in the
st
department providing services to both outpatients and inpatients amounting to total of 1801 tests. Up to 31
March 2020, 981 EEGs were done. In addition, 509 nerve conduction studies, 127 electromyography studies,
114 evoked potential studies and 42 repetitive nerve stimulation tests were done during the same period. The
non-invasive presurgical workup for drug resistant epilepsy included 28 video EEGs. In addition, 9 per
operative electrocorticography was done. Specialty clinics were also started for Stroke, Epilepsy, Movement
disorders and Neuromuscular diseases. Botulinum toxin injections for persistent disabling movement
disorders was initiated in September as part of the Movement disorder clinic. Till now 15 Botulinum toxin
injection sessions have been given to 12 patients. The department was also involved in undergraduate and
postgraduate teaching. Didactic lectures, integrated teaching sessions and unconventional learning classes
were conducted for MBBS students in addition to clinical postings. Bedside classes were also taken for MD
Medicine students.

epilepsy meet every month wherein the patients of intractable epilepsy are discussed in the meet and
possibility of surgical treatment is looked for. The first case of intractable epilepsy was operated in November’
2019 under the able guidance of Dr. George C Vilanilam, Expert faculty for Epilepsy Surgery from Department
of Neurosurgery, SCTIMST, Thiruvananthapuram. By March 2020, eight patients have undergone surgeries
for intractable epilepsy and all are seizure free until their last follow up visits (barring one, who had seizure
recurrence due to drug default due to unavailability of drug during Covid-19 Lockdown).
During later half of 2019, neuronavigation system (The StealthStation™ S8) was installed in the department,
which has made the surgeries especially deep-seated brain lesions, skull base lesions and spinal fixation,
safer and less invasive.
Few of the neurosurgical procedures, which are being provided in this part of the country (Rajasthan) only by
AIIMS Jodhpur, are:
a. Peripheral Nerve Surgeries
b. Craniovertebral Junction Surgeries
c. Neurovascular Surgeries (Aneurysms/AVMs)
d. Epilepsy Surgeries
e. Surgeries under guidance of Neuro-navigation system
The Department has been catering to patients from all over north India with ever-increasing numbers in the
OPD, which runs for five days a week. With the inauguration of new OT block, the number of routine OT days
also increased to five days a week with 24×7 emergency services.
The Department also moderates monthly neurosciences meet wherein various experts of Jodhpur city from
neurosciences share their work and there is mutual exchange of experiences of their respective specialties.
The Department played a key role in organizing one national level and one state level conference. The
Department won the bid to organize the national skull base conference in 2020.
The Department is also engaged in research work, which include investigator-initiated studies. The intramural
project “Methylmethacrylate Inter-Facetal and Inter-Vertebral Body Spacers in Cranio-Vertebral Junction
(CVJ) and Various Spine Surgeries” wherein we are trying to develop a module to produce low cost spacers
for spine surgeries is in advanced stages and will be submitting the report shortly. Patent application related to
this project for the ‘silicon mould’ has also been submitted. The department has produced many publications
in various esteemed journals during this period. The faculty members attended various conferences as invited
faculty members wherein they presented their work.
In the coming years, the department strives to reach greater heights and with few more dedicated faculty and
devoted students joining the department in future, efforts will continue to further glorify the stature of AIIMS,
Jodhpur. We as a Department are committed to provide the best possible patient care and top-notch
neurosurgical training to the residents and perform quality research work.

patients and 20431 (both new and old) pregnant women were seen in OPD. Various minor procedures are
done on OPD basis.
2. Labor room: Labor room was relocated to the new wing this year, thereby increasing the inpatient
capacity of the labor room. There we have separate areas for triage of patients, counselling, observation
of laboring females, high risk antenatal patients and postpartum care. We also have feeding room, store
room and utility room there. There were 2280 deliveries in last year. Many complicated and difficult cases
which were referred from other centers were optimally managed by the department.
3. OT: The department has achieved expertise in laparoscopic and Robotic surgeries. Many difficult
surgeries were done by minimal access route.. Total 521 Major and 162 minor surgeries were done in the
last year including laparoscopic surgery
Fetal medicine: Fetal medicine was incorporated in the services offered by the department this year. A
number of prenatal invasive procedures including 52 amniocentesis and 4 CVS were done. A few therapeutic
invasive procedures like Intra Uterine Transfusions were also carried out, first time in Jodhpur and Rajasthan
to the best of our knowledge.
Research: Faculty members and residents are actively involved in various research activities in the
department. Various research projects have been completed and many of them are still going on.
Future Plans: The team at department of Obstetrics & Gynecology is committed to establish a fully functional
and advanced IVF unit and ground work for the same has been done.

World deaf day, 2019

th
The Department of Otorhinolaryngology marked the occasion of World Deaf Day on 29 September, 2019 by
organising an awareness rally followed by an informal cultural program within the hospital campus. The
highlight of the events of the day was the heart-warming participation of the hearing- impaired children, who
had either undergone or were awaiting, cochlear implantation, at our institute. The World Deaf Day is
celebrated on the last Sunday of September every year to create awareness about the contributions of deaf
people to society and celebrate their accomplishments. So, what better way to celebrate it than with the
hearing - impaired children and their families so that they could share their challenges and achievements with
one another!
The day started with an awareness rally within the hospital premises, flagged by Dr. Kuldeep Singh, Dean
(Academics) and Dr. Amit Goyal, Head of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, AIIMS, Jodhpur. The
children walked happily alongside each other, holding placards and banners, with their families not far behind.
Afterwards, we all gathered in the amphitheatre, along with Faculty from other departments and our invited
Guest, Mr. Narpat Singh Kacchwaha from the Bharat Seva Sansthan, who has played a pivotal role in making
the journey of these children and their families easier by acting as a link between them and the Government
bodies.
This was followed by captivating performances by the children in the form of poem recitation, reciting the
alphabet, dance performances etc. A quiz was conducted in which the children took part enthusiastically. It
was a matter of great pride for all of us to see the happy faces celebrating every “little” success together. It
was also an opportunity for the parents to interact with each other to share their problems and their
successes. The events of the fulfilling day came to an end with the felicitation ceremony, wherein the children
were felicitated by our Dr. Kuldeep Singh, Dean and our Guest, Mr. Narpat Singh Kachchhawaha.

Hands-on training session

World hearing day, 2020
rd
The Department of Otorhinolaryngology, AIIMS Jodhpur, celebrated World Hearing Day on 3 March 2020.
The theme for this year was “Hearing for Life-Don’t let hearing loss limit you”. The idea behind this theme was
to spread awareness about tertiary prevention i.e. ways to rehabilitate individuals suffering from hearing loss,
due to a variety of reasons. According to WHO, around 60% of the disability caused by hearing loss can be
reduced if every individual in need uses a hearing device. The various options for rehabilitation include,
hearing aids and cochlear implants, auditory and speech rehabilitation, sign language and communication,
and assistive technologies and services. The focus was to encourage the masses to adopt a more inclusive
approach towards people with hearing loss and not to ignore their problems leading to their social isolation.
For this purpose, our department conducted a street play based on the said theme, in the OPD Waiting Hall of
the Hospital’s OPD Complex in the forenoon. Through the ten minutes’ play, the undergraduate and
postgraduate (ENT) students displayed various scenarios such as congenital hearing loss, presbycusis,
acquired treatable hearing loss and noise induced hearing loss due to occupational exposure. Employing
easily understandable words, the message of addressing the needs of the hearing impaired and rehabilitating
and mainstreaming them into society, was delivered by their impressive performance, which was appreciated
by the audience comprising of patients and their attendants, judging by their positive feedback.
Additionally, a poster making competition, creative writing and slogan writing competition on the same theme
were organised inviting entries from undergraduate and postgraduate students. The students enthusiastically
participated, displaying beautifully, their creative writing and painting skills to drive home the socially and
medically relevant message in a unique and hard-hitting manner.

Mission: Let no child goes out of the department and hospital deprived of his/her right to the optimal health.
All efforts are made to make an accurate diagnosis, follow evidence based practices and where ever possible
provide contextual care aligned with the highest level of standards of care to the child.
Goals: Departmental goals are to achieve the highest level of patient care, building evidences through
contemporary research adding substantial information to existing knowledge and create models in Medical
Education through innovations.
Facilities by the department:
Department saw nearly 150-200 patients daily in OPD and admission to IPD caters to patients ranging from
diagnostic dilemma to sick patients requiring team care. Department also runs many specialty clinics and has
state of art PICU and NICU with provision for managing any kind of illness requiring intensive care
New Achievements in year 2019-20:
The department successfully organized “7th National Conference of Pediatric Education (NCPE) 2019”. This
conference ignited many minds about improvement in current medical education. Department of
Biotechnology (DBT) has designated AIIMS Jodhpur as “National Inherited Disorders Administration Kendra
(NIDAN)” under “Unique Methods for Management of Inherited Disorders” initiative. The kendra has a genetic
testing lab and provides clinical genetic counselling services. In co-ordination with the other departments, we
are targeting genetic disorders with a multi-pronged strategy – i.e. Genetic counselling for prevention of
diseases in future pregnancies, early identification and optimal management.

The unit will also work on capacity building and training of manpower. Pediatric hematology-oncology unit
treated one patient of aplastic anemia with ATG first time and currently 13 children with hematologic
malignancies are enrolled. Department is also providing follow up care to many cases of solid tumor and other
malignancies. In view of increasing number of patient and increasing proportion of sick patients in Pediatric
Trauma and Emergency with limited number of PICU beds, Pediatric Acute Care Area with five beds, two
ventilators, was created in Nov 2019 and inaugurated by Prof (Dr) Sanjeev Misra, Director AIIMS, Jodhpur.

3. Pediatric Trauma and emergency have catered approximately 6000 patients last year. In view increasing
number of patient and increasing proportion of sick patients with limited number of PICU beds, Pediatric Acute
Care area was created in Nov 2019. The same was inaugurated by Prof (Dr) Sanjeev Misra, Director
AIIMS, Jodhpur in the Presence of Prof. (Dr) Kuldeep Singh, Head of the Department Pediatrics. This area
has capacity of 5 beds with 2 ventilators with other necessary equipment to stabilize sick children. We
stabilize all children including surgical emergencies. Sick Children those who are hemodynamically unstable
are kept here for further monitoring till they get bed in PICU or till they become stable. Since Nov 2019 total
350 patients has been admitted and monitored. After this area became functional our referral rate has reduced
significantly. In December 2019, on the occasion of 2nd Convocation at the institute, Health and Family
welfare minister Dr Harsh Vardhan has also visited the area and appreciated the facility for sick children.
We have submitted a proposal for starting a one-year fellowship course in Pediatric Trauma and Emergency
which may start from this year.

About the Department :

The Department of Pharmacology at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur has framed the teaching
module and methodology for undergraduates and the first M.B.B.S. batch entered the second professional
year in August 2013. Since then, along with the lectures and tutorials, teaching of Pharmacology theory
syllabus was supplemented with integrated teaching sessions. Pharmacology teaching is extending beyond
5th semester and integrated lectures are being conducted for final professional students in collaboration with
clinical departments.
The Department of Pharmacology, AIIMS, Jodhpur envisage to:
• To educate (by imparting knowledge & skills) the undergraduate and postgraduate medical, and paramedical
students to apply basic principles of pharmacology and therapeutics to practice including rational use of drugs.
• To facilitate basic and applied research that significantly advances current pharmacological knowledge.
• To provide academic services and patient care facilities (through Pharmacovigilance, Therapeutic Drug
Monitoring, Drug Information Centre, etc.)
The Department of Pharmacology is a designated “Adverse Drug Monitoring Center” (AMC) under
“Pharmacovigilance Programme of India” (PvPI) since 2014. The Department has contributed 1453 adverse
drug reaction (ADR) reports so far to Vigi Flow database and 307 ADR reports in year 2019-20. Department is

About the Department

The Department of Physiology at AIIMS Jodhpur is a rapidly progressing department of the institute. It
comprises 9 faculty members, 4 senior residents and 9 post graduate students (including M.D. and MSc).
Besides teaching and training of undergraduate (MBBS and BSc Nursing) and postgraduate students, the
department is actively involved in research and clinical investigations.
Undergraduate teaching is imparted through conventional didactic lectures as well as seminars, tutorials and
small group discussions. Students are given exposure to clinically important case scenarios through horizontal
and vertical integration with other departments. Coordination of theory lectures with the practicals in clinical
and hematology laboratories provides a better understanding of the topic. Students regularly interact with their
faculty mentors and are encouraged to develop an understanding of research through ICMR Short term
studentship projects. Formative assessments are conducted in the form of mid semester and semesters
exams followed by the final summative professional exams. Medical education of undergraduates and
postgraduates during pandemic COVID-19 has remained unhampered due to Improvised innovative online
teaching modality of Google Classroom.
Postgraduate teaching is imparted through regular seminars, journal clubs, practical presentations and group
discussions. Besides they are working on research areas like sleep quality in Breast cancer patients,
Polysomnographic studies, Cognition in chronic kidney and Psychiatric disease patients and Intraoperative
Neurophysiological monitoring in various conditions. Department of Physiology has been privileged to produce
the first candidate with M.D. degree from our AIIMS Jodhpur Institute in the academic year 2019-2020. Also,
our post graduate student bagged the most coveted “R Shrinivasan” prize for ‘Best paper by a postgraduate
student’ at the National conference of Physiology APPICON 2019 held at Guwahati.
The faculty of the department have been exemplary in every role, be it a mentor, teacher or researcher. Their
research projects have received grants from intramural and several extramural funding agencies like ICMR.
They attended conferences and workshops as invited speakers, resource faculties, symposia convener,
panelists and have also received prizes for paper presentation. They are contributing as members and hold
important positions in various national and international scientific bodies.
Besides teaching and research, the department of Physiology also caters to laboratory investigation services
for the patients. There is a fully functional Autonomic Function Test Laboratory and a quality Lab for testing
cognitive abilities and Evoked Potentials. The Department provides Intraoperative Neurophysiological
monitoring (IONM) services to various surgical departments. In the past academic year, the department has
witnessed an inflation in infrastructure from a wise and timely procurement of latest equipments. A State-of-
the-art animal research laboratory and an Electroencephalographic laboratory for teaching and research are
fully functional in the department.

Department of Surgical Oncology

S. No. Name Designation

1. Dr. D. Jayakumar Associate Professor
2. Dr. Jeewan Ram Vishnoi Assistant Professor

About the Department :

The Department of Surgical Oncology provides consultation for screening, diagnosis, surgical management,
st st
and follow up of the cancer patients. From 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020, 4202 patients have visited our
OPD for various surgical problems. We have a separate teaching room for undergraduate teaching in the
rd
same block. The major operation theaters are located in Main OT Complex at 3 floor. The minor operation
theaters are located in Trauma and Emergency OT complex. A total of 268 number of major surgical
procedures were performed during this period. We have endo trainer facilities for laparoscopic procedures in
the surgical skill lab located in the OT complex.
Out-Patient Department: Our OPD is presently working five days a week (Monday to Friday, in the A block,
th
5 floor of the OPD complex (Room no. 510-12). We do minor procedures or surgical procedures, including
core cut, punch, and incisional biopsies and dressing, etc. in Room No. 501. Our department policy is to first
evaluate the patients on the OPD basis who may need any surgical intervention and then admit through the
waiting list. Patients are given a choice of either general or private or semiprivate ward. We run a Tumor
Board meeting every Wednesday.
In-Patient Department: IPD wards are separate for male and female along with both general and special pay
rooms (private or semiprivate). The patient is thoroughly evaluated, and history & examination is prepared by
the resident as soon as the patient arrives. A printed discharge summary is handed over to all the patients.
We are maintaining soft copies of all the data, including operative and discharge summary.
Surgeries: The department of surgical oncology has all the facilities required for the surgical treatment of
cancer patients. Apart from the conventional open surgeries, we perform minimal access surgery with the help
of laparoscopic techniques as well as da Vinci Robotic Surgical System.

Department of Transfusion Medicine & Blood Bank

S.No. Name Designation

1 Dr. Archana Bajpayee Additional Professor
2 Dr. Saptarshi Mandal Associate Professor

About the Department

The Blood Bank successfully completed 5 years and also processed additional license for collection
plasmapheresis, leukapheresis and granulocyte concentrate this year. The Department of Transfusion
Medicine provides a gamut of transfusion services. Apart from the basic functioning of provision of ID-NAT
tested and consistently high quality blood components round the clock to AIIMS and other hospitals in
Jodhpur, the Department also strives to provide PBM (patient blood Management) & customized Massive
Transfusion Protocols, advanced therapeutic apheresis procedures (including first in India and first in State
examples) and preparation of injectable autologous cellular products like PRP PRF, CGF etc. The Hospital
Transfusion Committee of AIIMS Jodhpur was instrumental in increasing voluntary donations, minimizing
unnecessary prophylactic transfusions, implementation of restrictive transfusion thresholds; single unit
transfusion policy and use of autologous blood during surgeries.
Academic events/activities:
The department has so far enrolled six MD Transfusion Medicine & one PDCC (Post-Doctoral-Certification-
Course in Apheresis and Component Therapy) of which the PDCC candidate has completed the course this
year and first batch of MD students expected to complete in mid-2020. The department has conducted two
CMEs during the time period. The first in India Academic event of ISBT (International Society for Blood
Transfusion) was organized by the Department on Patient Blood Management (PBM) in November 2019. A
CME on HvPI (Hemovigilance Programme of India) was conducted in February 2020 in collaboration with NIB
(National Institute of Biologicals).
Blood & Platelet Donations: Between April 2019 to March 2020, 4419 donors were screened and 3854
donated (19% increase over the last year), of which 30 were apheresis donors of which 2357 donations
(61%) were from voluntary donors, including 1473 units collected from 34 camps held during this period. A
Voluntary Donor Register and an ID-NAT tested voluntary SDAP donor pool are being maintained.
Transfusion transmitted Infection screening: The collected units were tested for HIV, HBV and HCV using
ELISA and fully automated ID-NAT, and for syphilis (RPR) and malaria (Rapid Card). Screening for of 3854
donors showed 27 HBsAg (0.7%), 18 HCV (0.47%), 4 HIV (0.1%), 3 syphilis (0.08%) and 1 malaria (0.03%).
Two HBsAg negative donors showed HBV positive by ID-NAT testing ie ID NAT yield 2 (0.05%). Positive
donors were called for counselling, referral & follow up.
The ID-NAT laboratory of AIIMS Jodhpur has been functioning as a centralized testing center for other
government hospitals in Rajasthan for the provision of NAT tested PRBC for thalassemia patients. Over
10,000 samples have been tested this year under this programme.
Component Preparation: From the beginning the blood bank has tried to maintain 100% components policy.
During this year 10563 components were made (24% increase): Packed red Blood Cells (PRBC) 3786 (24%
increase), Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) 3440 (18% increase), Random Donor Platelet (RDP) 2605 (19%
increase), Single donor Apheresis Platelet (SDAP) 56, Cryoprecipitate (CRYO) 336, and CryoPoor Plasma
(CPP) 138. For pediatric and other needy patients unit modifications e.g. Irradiation, Aliquoting,
Leukofiltration, Reconstitution for neonatal/in-utero exchange transfusion etc. have been performed on
demand prior to issuing.
Issue of Components: During this financial year 7819 components were issued (12% increase) including
3726 PRBCs (24% increase), 2187 FFP (6% decrease), 1648 RDP (21% increase), 56 SDAPs and 182
Cryoprecipitates.
Apheresis: AIIMS Jodhpur Blood Bank has two apheresis machines— one (Trima Accel) has performed 30
donor platelet apheresis, and the other Cobe-Spectra has been used for 96 Therapeutic apheresis

procedures for patients of GBS, aHUS, TTP, Polycythemia Vera with Thrombocytosis, ANCA associated
vasculitis with RPGN, AAV & DAH, multiple myeloma, AIDP, Goodpasture syndrome etc, of which
challenging/pioneering scenarios included 16 rounds of plasmapheresis on <10 Kg pediatric case, and
Therapeutic Platelet Depletion (our center first in state).
Therapeutic Phlebotomy: This important modality of treatment has been performed on 59 occasions this
year.
Platelet rich Plasma/fibrin (PRP/PRF): During this year, as a therapeutic service, the blood bank prepared
injectable autologous PRP/PRF/CGF for 661 procedures (186% increase) in the departments of Orthopedics,
Physical medicine & rehabilitation, Dermatology & Dentistry.
Immunohematology: The Blood Bank has been providing regular immunohematology (14567 patient blood
grouping, 5539 crossmatching, 5694 coombs tests, Antibody screen and titre) as well as 28 specialized
diagnostic services including evaluation for hemolytic anemia and PNH (Ham’s test and sucrose lysis test).

Introducing PBM: Transition From Product To Patient Centric Approach
An ISBT academy event dedicated to patient blood management (PBM) was organized for the first time in
India by Department of Transfusion Medicine and Blood bank, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur
in collaboration with International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) and Indian Council of Medical
th th
Research (ICMR) on November 29 and 30 , 2019.
The motivation behind the event was the staggering results that we have observed in our patients with the
implementation of PBM principles and our attempt to learn more and the desire to spread awareness
regarding PBM among our fraternity. The two day academic event featured about 12 speakers from various
disciplines across India sharing their knowledge and experiences to an audience of about 200 delegates from
various clinical disciplines including transfusion medicine professionals, as well as officials from the regulatory
bodies concerned with Blood transfusion services in India
Dr. Zarin S. Bharucha spoke about the challenges faced by the fragmented blood transfusion services in
India and the steps to prevent proliferation of new blood banks. Prof. Erica Wood introduced the concept of
PBM to the audience and stressed on the fact that PBM is not anti-transfusion but the use of evidence based
and individualized transfusion for better patient outcomes. She outlined the steps and challenges to
implement PBM on a national scale with the Australian example and also stressed on the importance of
correction of pre-operative anemia, use of Tranexamic acid and cell salvage in reducing intraoperative
bleeding.
Dr. Sampath Kumar, a well noted cardiothoracic surgeon, stressed on the blood conservation approaches in
open heart surgeries which helped him avoid transfusion in 83% of his patients undergoing open-heart
surgeries. Dr. R.K. Chaudhary estimated the prevalence of inappropriate transfusions to be more than 40% in
India.
Dr. Mritunjay Kumar, anesthesiologist, spoke about PBM initiatives undertaken at AIIMS, Jodhpur which
reduced the overall transfusion requirements by more than 50%. The scientific sessions also included anemia
management in patients of chronic kidney disease by Dr. Manish Chaturvedi (Nephrologist) and evidence
based guidelines for transfusion of plasma and platelet components by Dr. Meenu Bajpai.
Two panel discussions were conducted on National Blood and Plasma Policy of India and on the role of
bedside visits by Transfusion Medicine practitioners in improving Blood Safety. Speakers deliberated on the
non-viability of small blood banks and the drawbacks of fragmented transfusion services in the regulation of
quality of components and implementation of PBM. The role of bedside visits and joint clinical rounds with
transfusion practitioners were emphasized for the better implementation of PBM. Two workshops were also
conducted during the event on unconventional Immunohematological techniques by Dr. Sanmukh Joshi and
on Apheresis and role of transfusion medicine physicians in hematopoietic stem cell transplants by Dr.
Aseem Tiwari.
The PBM drive is gaining momentum worldwide, and this is the first sensitization event dedicated to introduce
the concept in India. We hope that more hospitals would be forthcoming and to accelerate the adoption of
PBM, National Blood Transfusion council (of India) be empowered to make and implement a national PBM
program.

Department of Urology

S.No. Name Designation

1 Dr. Gautam Ram Choudhary Associate Professor
2 Dr. Himanshu Pandey Associate Professor
3 Dr. Mahendra Singh Assistant Professor
4 Dr. Vijay Kumar Sarma Madduri Assistant Professor

About the Department:

The Department of Urology was started on 27 April 2016; it offers up-to-date facility for comprehensive
management of all major urological disorders including cancer surgeries. Comprehensive medical education
and various programs of clinical and basic research are integral part of the department. The department has 4
permanent faculty members; all have their primary interest and also work for other secondary sub-specialties.
A new feather in the cap of our department this year was the starting of live donor renal transplant services
under the mentorship of SGPGIMS (Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences) Lucknow. Till
date we have successfully completed three renal transplants with excellent results. AIIMS Jodhpur is already
a referral centre for patients of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the starting of live donor renal transplant
service is a much needed boon for these patients. Regular assessment of CKD patients and prospective
kidney donors has been started in conjunction with the department of Nephrology, AIIMS Jodhpur. The
department eventually aspires to add cadaveric and robotic renal transplant services to its portfolio. The
department’s vision is to be a collaborative centre for outcomes research and basic science research in renal
transplant.
The milestone of 100 robot assisted Urological surgeries was crossed in July 2019. With the addition of 3-D
laparoscopy to the armamentarium, the department is fully equipped to provide comprehensive urological care
for all complex urological diseases.
With recognition and expansion of services, the department got the opportunity to conduct the Diplomate
National Board (DNB) exit examination under the aegis of National Board of Examinations (NBE), Govt of
India, in November 2019. Department’s establishment and services provided were well appreciated not only
by examiners but by also by NBE. The department has got the opportunity to host the second mid-term
workshop under the aegis of North Zone Urological Society of India (NZ-USI) to be held in July 2020. The
department is again slated to be the DNB exit exam centre in August 2020.
Currently with the intake of two students into the MCh program in July 2019, the department currently has four
academic senior residents.
