M G I M S : An introduction

The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram is India’s first rural medical college. Nestled in the karmabhoomi of Mahatma Gandhi, in Sevagram, this Institute was founded by Dr Sushila Nayar in 1969. Kasturba Hospital has the distinction of being the only hospital in the country which was started by the Father of the Nation himself.

MISSION STATEMENT In the spirit of its Founder, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram today is committed to the pursuit of professional excellence by evolving an integrated pattern of medical education and it seeks to provide accessible and affordable health care primarily to underprivileged rural communities.

HISTORY When Mahatma Gandhi left Sabarmati Ashram and set up his ashram at Sevagram in 1936, the epicentre of India’s independence struggle shifted to this obscure village in Maharashtra. In 1938, attracted by Gandhiji’s leadership in the Indian freedom struggle, a young graduate from Delhi’s Lady Hardinge Medical College, Dr Sushila Nayar, arrived in Sevagram. Her selfless service to the community endeared her to the local people.

In 1944, when Gandhiji returned from his last imprisonment at Aga Khan Palace, Sevagram was experiencing a number of epidemics. In this situation, Bapu had no use of the guest house built for his guests by Shri GD Birla. He got it converted into a dispensary, and later, into a 15 bedded hospital for women and children. He put Dr Sushila Nayar in charge of the same. It was christened “Kasturba Hospital” in memory of Kasturba Gandhi, who had passed away in 1942. Initially this hospital was run by the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi. The hospital was later expanded and its services were also extended to men.

After independence, on 11 September, 1964, an autonomous body, the “Kasturba Health Society” was set up by the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi with Dr Sushila Nayar as its President to manage the hospital.

In 1962, Dr Sushila Nayar became the Union Health Minister. She realised that the distribution of doctors in urban and rural areas was skewed and there were no takers for rural health care. While addressing the Central Council of Health in July 1965, Prime Minister, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, suggested starting medical colleges in rural areas so that young doctors trained in rural settings would be sensitive to the health of people in the rural areas. Kasturba Hospital at Sevagram was the natural choice for setting up India’s first experimental rural medical college.

The enthusiasm and hard work put in by Dr Sushila Nayar and her dedicated colleagues made it possible to start India’s first rural medical college by admitting the first batch of 60 students in August 1969. It was started as a Gandhi Centenary Project. The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical College, Sevagram was designed to be an experimental model institute where medical education was reoriented to meet the needs of the rural areas. The expenditure of MGIMS was to be shared by the Govt of India, Govt of Maharashtra and the Kasturba Health Society in the proportion of 50:25:25.

2015-2016 1 46th Annual Report MGIMS is 47-years-old now. From a 15 bedded hospital, the Institute has gradually grown into a 934-bedded one. Today Kasturba Hospital has 690 teaching beds, 100 service beds and 32 private rooms. The hospital provides 62 beds in different intensive care units (neonatal, pediatric, medical, coronary and burn) to care for critically ill patients. The institute also runs a 50-bedded Dr Sushila Nayar Hospital, in the tribal areas of Utawali, in Melghat in Amravati district.

QUALITY MEDICAL EDUCATION The institute strives to produce doctors of high clinical competence, professional attitudes and ethical behavior. The Institute believes that Gandhian values and principles are relevant even today and it displays a fierce commitment to advancement of medical education without losing the humane touch.

We, at MGIMS, are conscious of the fact that medical education needs to maintain the right balance in the eternal triangle of ‘quality, quantity and equity’. In our perennial quest to attain the perfect blend, we never forget that these three arms are not in conflict, and equity cannot be kept in abeyance. The students at MGIMS are drawn from all parts of the country and come from all kinds of social backgrounds. Every effort is made to acquaint the medical student to the real rural India. Our approach to medical education with the spotlight on rural community oriented education makes our doctors sensitive to the felt needs of the people they would be serving in their future. Our students are expected to adhere to professional norms which include altruism, compassion, empathy, accountability, honesty and integrity.

The entrance examination to the MBBS course includes a separate qualifying paper on Gandhian Thought. The students and staff of the Institute adhere to a unique code of conduct, where they are expected to wear hand- woven khadi, participate in shramdan and attend an all-religion prayer every Friday evening. Non-vegetarian food, alcohol and tobacco are taboo.

The Institute offers MCI recognized degrees and diplomas in 19 postgraduate disciplines and PhDs in nine departments. It boasts of a well equipped library which is a recognized resource library for HELLIS network in Western India. Two of its present faculty members, Dr BC Harinath (1992), and Dr (Mrs) P Narang (2002) are recipients of the National BC Roy Award.

Since 1991, the Institute has asked all its graduates to serve for two years in rural areas. 80 non-governmental organizations have joined hands with the institute to fulfill this dream. This rural service is a mandatory criterion for applying for post-graduation in this Institute. The Report of the Task Force on Medical Education of the National Rural Health Mission spells out the need to draw upon MGIMS Sevagram’s initiatives and experience in curriculum innovation and rural placement of its graduates. It suggests launching a participatory exercise with MGIMS and other like-minded institutions, so that national guidelines can be formulated. Several such visionary and innovative education strategies which started from the Institute have now been adopted by the government.

RURAL HEALTH CARE The Institute primarily caters to the rural populace. Almost three-fourths of the patients who visit our hospital come from rural backgrounds. The patient load comes to us not only from Vidarbha in Maharashtra, but also from adjoining parts of Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh. Kasturba Hospital is a rural institute but it does not lack in any of the modern health care amenities and is able to provide health services at affordable costs. Kasturba Hospital offers the benefits of modern technology with compassionate health care.

In 2015-16, 826808 patients attended the hospital as outpatients and 47304 patients were admitted for various ailments. The Hospital has state-of-the-art intensive care units in Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology

2 2015-2016 46th Annual Report and Pediatrics which provide excellent critical care. A well equipped hemodialysis unit is available for patients of renal failure. The Sri Satya Sai Accident and Emergency Unit provides succour to patients of trauma. The Institute has a Blood Component Unit which provides components not only to patients in Kasturba hospital, but also to adjoining private hospitals. Facilities for MRI, CT Scan and Mammography are available. The Institute also has a Linear accelerator which is used for treatment of cancer patients. The Alcohol and Drug De-addiction centre seeks to rehabilitate patients who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. The Pathology, Microbiology and Biochemistry laboratories have in-house facilities to conduct a battery of diagnostic tests. All departments of the hospital are connected by an advanced Hospital Information System and have wi-fi access. The Institute has also added digital subtraction angiography, brachytherapy and a cath lab to its armamentarium.

COMMUNITY SERVICE The Institute’s commitment to the community is well known. Community-based programmes have been consistently implemented to enhance health care services. The Department of Community Medicine has adopted three primary health centres and developed a model of decentralized healthcare delivery at village level through Community-based Organizations and the Panchayati Raj Institutions. It has formed 275 Self-help groups, 10 Kisan Vikas Manch and 89 Kishori Panchayats in the adopted villages. Through innovative strategies, family life education is provided to adolescent girls in all the programme villages.

The health insurance scheme of the institute has won several accolades as it seeks to create health consciousness in the community. A villager can insure himself and his family by paying Rs 400 a year and in return he gets 50% subsidy in OPD and indoor bills. In 2015-16, 18807 families (86199 members) around Sevagram volunteered to obtain health insurance from this hospital. Similarly 40 villages were totally insured and 90201 rural people were insured under this scheme. No other medical institution has achieved this kind of coverage so consistently over the years and at so affordable a rate.

The National Rural Health Mission has lauded the ‘positive contribution of MGIMS in maternal health activities conducted in partnership with the Govt of India’. In 2006, the Institute was awarded the Mahaveer Award for Excellence in the Sphere of Education and Medicine by the Hon’ble President of India.

RESEARCH The focus of the Institute has been on community based medical research. Quality research has been the hallmark of this rural institute and the large number of funded projects awarded to the various departments is ample testimony to the potential of the researchers. We have consistently received funding from the Indian Council of Medical Research, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Biotechnology, WHO, UNICEF, PATH (USA), Fogarty AIDS Research and Training Program, USA, Canadian Institute of Health Research, Population Health Research Institute, Canada, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart Lung Blood Institute (NHLBI) and other such organizations. Being located in Sevagram has never been a hurdle in acquiring either funds or facilities as the enthusiasm and the dedication of the faculty surpasses all other deterrents. Each year, the large numbers of national and international peer reviewed publications from this Institute provide evidence of excellence in research.

Over the last four and a half decades, the MGIMS faculty has been striving hard to imbibe the philosophy which makes it pursue excellence in academics, healthcare and research, more than mundane needs and money; and to maintain excellence in quality. Today, MGIMS has impressive academic standards and excellent research facilities. In the 47 years of its existence, 2450 doctors have graduated from the hallowed premises of MGIMS. Our alumni, spread far and wide across the globe, continue to bring laurels to their Alma Mater.

Kasturba Hospital introduces No-Q Card

No-Q Card, as the name suggests, is a card which seeks to minimize long hours of waiting in queues and thus help patients enjoy a hassle-free experience at our hospital. No-Q Card is a unique ATM-like card (with pre- deposited cash) that can be easily and effectively used at various counters across the hospital to save time. On an average, the No-Q card helps patients save 90 minutes whenever they revisit the hospital, get tested and buy drugs. The card has been designed to provide patients efficiency, security and flexibility of digital payments.

At Kasturba Hospital patients have the option of getting a No-Q card made after presenting proofs of their identity and their mobile numbers. The card displays the CR number, card number, and his name. Patients can load money onto the card and once the money on the card runs out, they can recharge the card. The card guarantees them triple benefits. Patients can directly visit an OPD without standing at the registration counter for re-registering the visit. The visiting charges will automatically be deducted when the patient produces his card, and the visit is stamped at the OPD counter. They can directly go to the collection centers or the radiology department and get their tests done, without standing in the queue in the billing counters. They can directly buy their prescribed drugs at a special counter created in the Pharmacy stores.

MGIMS Institute for Simulation Based Training launched

MGIMS has established a modern simulation lab to train doctors and paramedical staff in life saving skills. The project called by the acronym MIST, which stands for MGIMS Institute for Simulation Based Training. The project funded by KHS, has already procured mannequins to teach participants CPR during AHA accredited basic life support skills (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support skills (ACLS) courses, which are in line with the latest 2015 training guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA). The lab also has a critical care simulation advanced mannequin which is first of its kind in whole of central India. The project is run by the Department of Anesthesia and headed by two of its faculty, Dr Dhiraj Bhandari and Dr Vijay Sharma.

In 2015-16, MIST-Sevagram has conducted two AHA-accredited BLS and ACLS workshops and trained 42 participants. Participants no longer have to travel to metros to receive quality training, as life saving skills training has been brought to Central India at much lower costs.

Department of Radiology acquires high end ultrasound machine

The Department of Radiology bought a state of the art ultrasound machine, Affiniti 70, in March 2016, that makes imaging technically difficult patients easy. The machine facilitates imaging of a wide range of patient types with few artifacts and enhanced penetration. Elastography, a key function of the machine can help detect fibrosis in patients presenting with liver diseases, with an impressive diagnostic accuracy. .

12 2015-2016 46th Annual Report New developments in providing patient care

The Dr Sushila Nayar Hospital started functioning in its new building in Utawali from 6 Feb 2016. The multispeciality hospital has 50 beds and will focus on providing care to the tribal folk of Melghat in Amravati District.

The multispeciality hospital run by MGIMS at the Gandhi Memorial Leprosy Foundation started offering the facilities of conducting basic biochemistry and hematology investigations to its patients. A pharmacy has also been started in the hospital.

Guest houses, hostels and sports facilities get a facelift

A new guest house with thirteen rooms has been constructed on campus to give the guests and examiners who come to MGIMS a comfortable stay. The existing rooms at P Nayar Guest House were also refurbished.

The kitchens and dining rooms of the boys’ and girls’ hostels were completely renovated and redesigned. The improved spacious and uncluttered ambience at the dining rooms makes lunch and dinner time more interesting for the students with conversations about clinics, cinema and cricket. A new badminton court was also constructed between the two hostels to help shuttlers find their feet and make new friends.

Central Library goes hi-tech

The Central Library at MGIMS has now acquired several modern additions. A 24X7 dedicated library server has been accommodated in the server room of the HIS. With this new facility, the library has gone digital and is tuned to deliver its vast e-resources to its users, who can access all its resources at their computer terminals or smart phones and other wifi enabled gadgets in the comfort of their rooms. The library management software was also upgraded to the latest version SLIM21. This software is designed and developed in modules to automate the library with features such as cataloguing, circulation, webOPAC , digital library, Dcoll module and smart card interface.

This year, in addition to print journals, the library subscribed to 28 online journals with very high impact factors including The Lancet and Annals. This ensures that our users can access the articles exactly at the time of their release, without any delay due to postal delivery and that too in the comfort of their homes or departments through the Library server by simply clicking on the link provided. The library staff is being trained in using e- resources like DELNET and MOODLE regularly thus ensuring skill enhancement in managing a digital library.

2015-2016 13 46th Annual Report Shape of Things to Come

New operation theatre complex to be functional next year In an attempt to modernize existing facilities, Kasturba Hospital is constructing a brand new state-of-the-art operation theatre (OT) complex, adjacent to the existing OT complex. This complex constructed over 15000 square feet, will have facilities catering to all super-specialities and will double the number of existing operation theatres. The new OT complex will feature ten modular OT suites, an intensive care unit and pre-operative assessment ward with ten beds each, two recovery rooms and a medical store. Each of the ten suites in the new OT complex will be equipped with individual control HEPA filters and laminar flow, anesthesia gas scavenging systems, central ceiling mounted gas and surgical pendants, antistatic and antibacterial flooring. Each OT suite will have state-of-the-art double arm LED OT lights with integrated video camera arm with LED screen display. Each OT will be equipped with modern anesthesia workstations with integrated advanced ventilators, multi- para monitors with ability to measure invasive pressures and anesthesia gas concentrations as well as body warming blankets. The new OT complex will adhere to all the safety norms including planning for bio-waste disposal and fire safety system. The complex also provides enough space for the patient relatives to wait while their loved ones are being operated. An integrated two way audio-video system with central pendant data information and storage facilities will relay live operations and anesthesia procedures to the central auditorium in the second floor of OT complex, where students can learn from watching live surgeries and interact with the anesthesia and surgical team. On 28 Feb 2016, Shri Dhirubhai Mehta inaugurated the new Operation Theatre (OT) complex. The new OT complex is expected to be completely functional next year. Plans are afoot to redesign and restructure the Anesthesiology department in the next phase.

New Model Maternal and Child Health (MCH) wing constructed at MGIMS The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) guidelines in its publication titled ‘Maternal and Neonatal Health Tool Kit’ describe details of the ideal infrastructure, human resource, equipments, instruments, consumables and protocols expected in a model Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Unit. Faculty from MGIMS contributed to writing these guidelines. The MOHFW planned to develop model MCH wings all across the country which would follow universal well researched protocols and provide the quality services to mothers and babies.

In 2014, the MOHFW, Govt of India, under the aegis of National Health Mission approved the setting up of a model MCH wing for comprehensive reproductive, maternal, newborn and child and adolescent health (RMNCH+A) at MGIMS Sevagram. This centre will provide quality maternal and child health services covering the whole perspective of RMNCH+A and will showcase all the technical protocols including infection prevention. The MCH wing will have 150 beds for Obstetrics and Gynecology and 60 beds for Pediatrics and Neonatology. It will include the outpatient department, antenatal and postnatal wards, high dependency units, operation theatres, sick newborn critical unit, labour rooms, obstetric intensive care units, skills labs and other such areas. The high dependency units and intensive care units will cater to sick women and provide quality care in order to reduce maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity. Construction of the project is almost complete and the unit is expected to be functional by September 2016. Similar models are expected to be replicated all over the country.

14 2015-2016 46th Annual Report Plans afoot to redesign the MGIMS library The library at MGIMS is housed in its premises just below the auditorium for several years now. As the institute grew in size and stature, the Central Library also expanded with the latest textbooks, reference books, journals, magazines, and even a fiction section. This led to a space crunch with more and more shelves being added to the library. And although a spacious reading hall was added on the second floor to accommodate students who were vying for the limited chairs, especially during the exam preparation phase, it was quite obvious that we still needed more space. Exciting plans to design a new library with a modern twist are afoot. Once the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Neonatology Unit shift to their brand new building, there are plans to redesign that huge space of over 17000 sq feet into a futuristic library premises.

The new library, located on the first floor, will be centrally air-conditioned and will house a digital e-library with 50 computers, a reading room for undergraduates, another reading room for residents and a designated place for faculty to browse through the journals. The first floor will also house a cafeteria, areas for informal group discussions and team study, an audiovisual hall, staff rooms, reprography area, an area for showcasing new arrivals to the library collection and kiosks for browsing. The entire area will be connected through wi-fi so that students can use the digital library for learning. The ground floor will also be developed as a repository for archival books and old journals. A great deal of enthusiasm is being displayed with faculty and students giving suggestions on how they want their new library to look.

MGIMS chosen by Govt of India to begin a Skills Centre for National Emergency Life Support training The Director General of Health services (DGHS) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) of the Govt of India have chosen MGIMS among the first five centres in India to build a centralized state-of-the-art simulation and skills lab under their National Emergency Life Support (NELS) programme. The NELS project is an initiative undertaken by the MOHFW to implement a ‘made in India’ simulation curriculum to help doctors and paramedics deal with lifesaving emergency situations which they encounter in their everyday practice. The programme will be run by the Department of Anesthesia along with other clinical departments of MGIMS. The programme intends to provide basic life support training to interns, paramedics and doctors in the public health services right from primary health centres to the level of district hospital. MOHFW has sanctioned Rs 2.68 crores for this project in order to renovate existing structures and establish state-of-the-art simulation and skills labs. MGIMS has already received Rs one crore which will be used to procure simulation mannequins for training. Around fifteen faculty members will be trained by MOHFW to become instructors who will begin training by January 2017. Surveillance of Zoonotic Diseases in the community An ICMR Task Force study on “Surveillance of select zoonotic diseases in Central India” is underway by the Departments of Microbiology, Community Medicine, Medicine and Pediatrics, with Dr Rahul Narang as the Principal Investigator. In the first year of the project (2015-16) on select zoonotic diseases, surveillance was performed on patients who presented with acute fever to Kasturba Hospital. Around 1800 patients were screened for scrub typhus, leptospirosis, and brucellosis. These three diseases were found to contribute to 35% of all acute febrile illnesses (scrub typhus – 16%, leptospirosis – 13% and acute brucellosis – 6%). In 2016-17, there are plans to expand this surveillance to the rural hospitals at Bhidi and Pulgaon, primary health centre (PHC) at Anji (Mothi) in Wardha district and to the Dr Sushila Nayar Hospital in Utawali, Melghat in Amravati district. In addition, house-to-house surveillance of acute fever cases in seven villages with a population of 10,227 will be carried out in Kharangana PHC. Surveillance will also be conducted in cattle in partnership with the Nagpur Veterinary College. Expansion and upgradation of hostels In view of the increasing number of students being admitted in MGIMS, two new hostel blocks are being constructed with a capacity of 96 rooms. More than Rs 30 lakhs has been sanctioned to upgrade the gymnasium in the boys’ hostel. 2015-2016 15 46th Annual Report Institutional Responsibilities

28 2015-2016 46th Annual Report Anatomy

SERVICE The Department of Anatomy is one of the Basic Science departments where teaching is the main activity. Anatomy and Genetics are taught to students of I MBBS, I and II BSc Nursing and MD (Anatomy) courses of MUHS Nashik. The Department has a well-established cytogenetics laboratory with an expert geneticist and trained technical staff for routine cytogenetic investigations (like karyotyping) and genetic counselling. Recently, a molecular genetics laboratory has been established for research purposes. The staff routinely performs embalming of the dead bodies for transportation purpose. Embalming is also done for preservation of donated bodies for the purpose of dissection and teaching.

EDUCATION The Department has utilised the following teaching-learning methods to impart the knowledge of Anatomy and to make learning more effective, interactive and practical: • Small group teaching: to introduce interactive learning in osteology, gross anatomy, embryology and histology. Theory to practical/ demonstration ratio is 1:3 • Reciprocal peer teaching: Students volunteer as group leaders and a topic which has previously been discussed with corresponding teachers is briefed before table-mates in the dissection hall. Teachers supervise the activity on each table and provide guidelines wherever needed. • Fortnightly review of topics: Topics taught during the previous fortnight are discussed with students. This helps the faculty in identifying and helping slow learners. Special sessions are then held for slow learners. • Live histology demonstration with trinocular microscope, digital camera and television monitor: to provide better understanding of the microscopic details of tissues at different magnifications. In addition, histological transparencies, 3D models and charts are also used. • Computer aided learning: For gross anatomy and embryology, educational CDs are available. • Students from other colleges have been given training in the Cytogenetics lab.

RESEARCH The molecular genetics and research labs provide the basic infrastructure for carrying out research in the field of genetics, histochemistry, histomorphometry, anthropometry and dermatoglyphics. The department is approved for PhD and has two approved PhD guides in Anatomy and Genetics in addition to 5 PG guides. Incorporation of some newer equipment such as CO2 incubator, automatic tissue processor, an imported microtome with disposable blade, CCTV, microscope with digital camera for photomicrography, Magnavision and cryostat microtome has boosted the research potential of the department.

It has adopted four PHCs; Anji, Gaul, Kharangana and Talegaon with a population of more than 120,000 and developed a model of decentralized healthcare delivery at village level through community- based organizations and the Panchayati Raj Institutions. It has formed 275 Self-help groups, 10 Kisan Vikas 2015-2016 31 46th Annual Report Manch and 89 Kishori Panchayat in the adopted villages which provide a platform for dissemination of behaviour change communication messages. It runs community outreach clinics in 26 villages to take curative health care to the rural populace. Through innovative strategies, family life education is provided to adolescent girls both in schools and out of schools in all the program villages. The Department runs General OPD within the Kasturba Hospital which acts as a replica of a primary health center under a tertiary health care setting. It is the first contact point for all patients visiting the OPD of Kasturba Hospital. The General OPD also has Maternal and Child Care cell, psychosocial cell, leprosy treatment cell, DOTS centre and microscopy centre.

EDUCATION The Department strives to provide the best learning opportunity to medical students through its innovative community-based medical education. For each batch of medical students, the Institute adopts a village. In this village, each student adopts 3-4 families covering the entire village. Initially, a 15-day residential camp is organized in the village when the students build rapport with the family members and facilitate the health examination and treatment of the villagers. The residential camp is followed by a monthly visit to adopted families for the next three years. Through these visits the students take care of the health care needs of their adopted families. Through the village adoption scheme, students learn about rural life, environmental sanitation, socio-economic conditions, and health problems of the community. In 2015-16, the department has developed a complementary e-learning course for the community-based medical education. During the third year of medical education, a 15-day residential camp is organized at one of the Rural Health Training Centers of the Institute. This camp helps the students understand the rural health care infrastructure available in India. During the third year, a workshop on research methodology is organized for the students.

Forensic Medicine & Toxicology

SERVICE Besides carrying out routine post mortems, the Department runs a clinical toxicology laboratory attachment that caters to several types of patients and helps clinicians in prompt diagnosis and treatment. The Department looks after a number of medico-legal aspects. It routinely attends to summons delivered by courts on behalf of the government and provides expert opinions on several cases. The faculty of this Department often visit crime scenes on requests of district authorities (Collector, Superintendent of Police) to assist in investigation of crimes. It guides police personnel, medical staff of other institutes and doctors of other departments of MGIMS in dealing with several types of medico-legal cases. It helps investigate cases of custodial death, sexual assault, medical negligence and helps estimate age and establish alcohol intoxication. The Department helps in conduct of clinical post-mortems to detect cause of any death or its pathology.

MGIMS has developed a unique Clinical Forensic Medicine Unit (CFMU), which works round the clock and hand-in-hand with the emergency centre. All medico-legal cases (MLC) are handled under direct supervision of experts from the forensic department; the doctors from clinical departments are thus no longer required to spend time in courts for cross examinations. The judiciary had passed strictures about the illegible handwriting of medicos in the medico-legal reports (MLR) which made it impossible to decipher them. To overcome this constraint, MGIMS has also developed the “forensic medical software” that generates printed and organized reports and helps the cause of justice as well as education.

EDUCATION The Department is engaged in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and training. It conducts regular undergraduate seminars. Research is in the form of postgraduate theses works and related researches. The Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology also shoulders the responsibility of taking lectures for nursing students on medico-legal aspects. The postgraduate seats of Forensic Medicine are recognized by the Medical

34 2015-2016 46th Annual Report Council of India. The Department is also taking efforts to revamp the curriculum of the subject of Forensic Medicine at undergraduate level.

RESEARCH The Department of Forensic Medicine has done pioneering work on the “Quality of forensic medical examination of sexually assaulted victims in India”. This 258-page report prepared was forwarded to the Union Ministries of Health and Law. A public interest litigation was filed on the basis of this report and the Mumbai High Court- Nagpur bench took immediate cognizance of the seriousness of this issue subsequently issuing a directive consisting of guidelines and a proforma for medical officers to follow to ensure proper forensic examination of victims of sexual assault. Police officers probing such cases have also been supplied with revised guidelines by the Govt. of Maharashtra after another such report was submitted by our department, a report highlighting the absurdity of certain questions asked to the victims amounting to human rights violation.

Another report “Emergency Medical service in India – a cause of concern” showed that 1.5 lakh people killed in road traffic accidents in India die due to lack of emergency medicine services. The National Human Rights Commission has taken serious cognizance of this report and directed the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to upgrade emergency medical services in the country. Medicine

2015-2016 147 46th Annual Report JB Tropical Disease Research Centre

Director : Dr BC Harinath Research Officer : Mr Babban jee

The Jamnalal Bajaj Tropical Disease Research Centre (JBTDRC) is an advanced centre for Tropical Disease Research established in 1994 at MGIMS Sevagram to expand the Institute’s ongoing research programmes in tropical diseases such as filariasis and tuberculosis prevalent in this region. It is the result of sustained problem based research activity in Department of Biochemistry for more than two decades at MGIMS with support from ICMR, CSIR, and DST, WHO / TDR, INDO US-STI and DBT. The foundation stone of the centre was laid on 23 Feb 1991 by former Prime Minister Shri Chandrashekhar. The Centre has become fully operational under Dr BC Harinath as Director with research thrust on diagnostics in filariasis and tuberculosis with core support from Kasturba Health Society. In association with Departments of Biochemistry, Microbiology, Orthopedics and Pathology, the main thrust has been to apply the latest and sophisticated techniques of immunology and molecular biology in developing tools for immunodiagnosis, monitoring, immunoprophylaxis, surveillance and their application in better management of the diseases, filariasis and tuberculosis. During the year 2015-2016, a total of 106 samples from patients suspected of filarial infection were referred from Kasturba Hospital and private practitioners from surrounding areas. Filter paper blood samples were received from different endemic areas namely Bilaspur, Calicut etc. by post/courier. Patients were screened for filarial infection. Patients showing antigen/antibody positivity were treated with DEC 2 mg/ kg body weight, 3 times a day for 21 days in a month for 3-12 months, immunomonitored quarterly and followed for clinical relief and cure.

A total of 26 patients attending Kasturba Hospital suspected of tuberculosis (TB) were screened by SEVA TB ELISA from 1 Apr 2015 to 31 Mar 2016. Tubercular antibody/ antigen / Immune complexed antigen positivity was observed in particular in clinically suspected cases of osteo-articular TB (6/26). Often the test is also requested to rule out tuberculosis in suspected cases.

Screening of marine algal samples for anti TB drugs 12 marine algal samples received from CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar, Gujarat were screened for presence of anti TB drugs by indigenously developed ELISA and axenic culture.

MOU signed with other Industries / Institute: Mycobacterial ES-31 serine protease was identified in TB infected human sera and reported from JBTDRC for the first time and its usefulness as an antigen in diagnosis, cell marker to differentiate MTB from TBM and as drug target for elimination of infection has been extensively published by JBTDRC. Based on our study MOU has been prepared with: Bhat Biotech India Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore for development of diagnostic kit for tuberculosis; GeNext Genomics Pvt. Ltd., Nagpur for production of mono-clonal antibodies for use in biotherapy for treatment of tuberculosis; CSIR-Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar, Gujarat for screening of marine algal samples for potential anti tuberculosis drugs. Biotechnology Ignition Grant (BIG) by Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), a Government of India Enterprise supported by DBT, awarded a grant of Rs.49.9 lakhs to our collaborating scientist Ms. Supriya Kashikar, GeNext Genomics, Nagpur for the project titled “Characterization of a novel protease and its further validation towards potential target for MTB therapeutics’ for validating proof of concept of MTB serine protease as drug target, published and patented by JBTDRC.

154 2015-2016 46th Annual Report General OPD

General OPD is the unique feature of MGIMS which is run by the Department of Community Medicine and serves as a linkage in peripheral health activities and Kasturba Hospital, Sevagram. It works as a replica of Primary Health Centre in a teaching hospital. It was started basically to reduce the workload of specialists so that they can devote more time to needy and complicated patients.

Immunization clinic TUBERCULOSIS AND LEPROSY CLINIC Tuberculosis BCG 3717 DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course) for Tuberculosis was started in Wardha Measles 36 District on 21 July 2002. Under this programme, one microscopy centre and one DOTS OPV 5129 centre catering to three nearby villages have been established in the G-OPD. 421 new DPT 150 patients of tuberculosis were registered under DOTS this year. Of the 1648 chest TT 16 symptomatics screened, 152 were positive for acid fast bacilli. Hepatitis B vaccine 1961 Leprosy Vitamin A 135 This year 31 patients with leprosy (27 multi-bacillary and 04 paucibacillary) were registered TT (ANC) 376 with the leprosy clinic. Pentavalent 402 EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE Under the activity of Epidemiological Surveillance Unit, daily data is collected from the Psychosocial Cell 5186 hospital wards especially Medicine, Pediatrics and Skin based on standard definition given for each disease.

166 2015-2016 46th Annual Report Utawali Project, Melghat

Coordinator: Dr S Chhabra

Melghat is a tribal area in Dharni and Chikhaldara of Amravati district. Located 250 Kms north-west from Sevagram, this area attracted wide media coverage because of malnutrition-associated deaths in the last decade. Three-fourths of the population is tribal- inhabited by Korku Adivasis. Most people, poor, illiterate and struggling to make both ends meet, live in dark ages and have little or no access to health care facilities, education and communication channels. To access specialized neonatal care most people have to travel 160 Kms on a difficult and hilly terrain. Men, women and children trapped by the grimmest poverty and are further hit by inequality of health services. Children, in particular are the worst sufferers. Most of the sickness and deaths are due to malnutrition, pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea.

The institute planned a long term project in this area and posted an Associate Professor in Medicine, and an Ophthalmologist, who have voluntarily opted to reach the unreached. A base hospital at Dharni -Trimurti Hospital and 36 villages of Melghat have been chosen for research work. These villages are difficult to access, lack proper transport facilities and are located in the midst of dense forest and hills about 50 Kms from Dharni. Health education on malnutrition, breast feeding, diarrhoea and sexually transmitted diseases has been started since the last 8 years. This area is known for the highest under-five child mortality (80 per 1000 live births) and the highest mortality in the age group (16-50 years) in Maharashtra.

Kasturba Health Society has been providing health facilities in this region through the Mahatma Gandhi Adivasi Hospital and Dr Sushila Nayar Netralaya since the last 16 years. KHS had been running an OPD and 6-bed hospital as part of its Tribal Health Research Project in Melghat since the last 16 years. However in view of high maternal and infant mortality rates, it was decided to take this initiative forward and expand this endeavour with the help of the faculty and residents of MGIMS.

The Kasturba Health Society (KHS) started its OPD in the Dr Sushila Nayar Hospital (earlier called Mahatma Gandhi Adivasi Mother and Child Hospital) on 1 Jan 2012. A 30 bed hospital for women and children in the tribal area of Utawali, Dharni was also initiated with funding support from the Shri Brihad Bharatiya Samaj, a Mumbai- based nongovernmental organization. The Government of Maharashtra has recognized this as a referral unit.

A multispeciality hospital has been commissioned on the site on 4 Feb 2016, and 7.5 acres of land has been acquired for the purpose. A team of obstetrician-gynecologists, pediatricians, anesthetists, medical officers, interns, administrative officer and nurses are working at Utawali hospital round the clock and managing emergencies, outpatients and inpatients. The team soon realized that more than ill-health, they had to battle the social circumstances. The tribal folk had their unique beliefs, superstitions and cultural practices. Coupled with these prejudices, poverty and illiteracy, it has been an uphill task to counsel patients and ensure compliance. It is a challenge, but the team has been running an operation theatre too in these resource-limited settings. The doctors working here have several heartening stories to share of how they managed critical patients using their ingenuity and expertise. The hospital is now equipped with essential infrastructure including blood storage facilities (whole blood and components), instruments for anesthesia, newborn resuscitation, multipara monitors, suction machines operation tables etc. have been procured. Earlier there were no facilities for

A total of 65 villages receive community based maternal, neonatal care in Dharni block of Melghat, bringing the total villages to 65.

A diagnostic and therapeutic camp was conducted on 5-6 Feb 2016 with the cooperation from specialists and staff of MGIMS Sevagram. 2197 patients availed the benefit of being examined by consultants.

Patients requiring further investigations and complicated surgical procedures were brought to Sevagram where they underwent treatment.

In 2015-16, a total of 12272 patients were seen in the OPD. 845 patients were admitted in the wards of the hospital. 188 babies were delivered, 60 by Caesarian section. A total of 387 surgeries were conducted (Gynecology-32, Obstetrics-72, Ophthalmology-204, Surgery-56, Orthopedics-6 and ENT-17) of which, 148 were major surgeries.
