The Obstetrics & Gynaecology department is one of the busiest tertiary maternity centre in the city and the number of deleveries exceeds 7000 per year. A large number of these patients are underprivileged and have limited resources to avail of quality health care which is beyond the reach of a common man. Many of the referred cases are complicated high risk pregnancies and the department is well equipped to handle such cases along with the neonatal intensive care unit attached to the department.
