The twin institutes of the Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital were established in 1926 with a nationalistic spirit to cater to the “health care needs of the northern parts of the island” to be manned entirely by Indians. With a glorious legacy of over 80 years, 10 lakh patients and 50,000 plus surgeries annually, these institutes are among the top ranked in the city and country with the Latin maxim “Non Sibi Sed Omnibus- not for self but for all”, embedded in every heart. The year 2010 was marked by several achievements. These have been in diverse areas with the patient at the centre. The automated chapati/roti maker brought smiles on the faces of the kitchen staff and patients. The new look Orthopedic outpatient department, the new look Journal of Postgraduate Medicine (now among the top ranked Indian journals), launch of the International Journal of Ayurveda Research, a second functioning cath lab, a brand new automated biochemistry analyzer in the emergency services and recognition of the Department of Neonatology as a “Collaborative Centre for facility based newborn care” by the Government of India ensured that the institute continued its march towards excellence. The liver transplant program was initiated to provide an affordable treatment option for those in need without the necessary resources. This was supported by munificent donations and huge support from the MCGM and that made it possible. The clean KEM campaign to promote and inculcate awareness about keeping the hospital and surroundings clean was yet another milestone. The medical humanities cell was launched to ensure the medical students both undergraduate and postgraduate imbibe the values of empathy, compassion, effective communication and professionalism along with regular medical training. Where do we go from here? Plans for 2011 are already gathering momentum. These include a readying ourselves for the new MCI plans, a fellowship in Family Medicine, new DM courses in pediatric and cardiac anesthesia and acquisition of instruments like digital radiography and a 64 slice CT scanner. However at the end of the day, as several thousand patients walk through these hallowed portals each year with hope in their hearts, it is remains our primary responsibility to ensure that they get the best medical care from kind, caring and compassionate physicians, hands that comfort, soothe and heal. In the words of Bob Dole, “When it’s all over, it’s not who you were. It’s whether you made a difference.

At the dawn of 2011, we are ready to embark on another journey and look forward to yet another foundation day. It is again time to take stock and look at the year that was- what was achieved, what went wrong, where could we improve and where do we go ahead from here. This annual report in its individual chapters looks at the work, the teaching, the research, publications, awards, achievements and much much more. While the general format of the report has remained the same, it has nonetheless chronicled the numerous changes, minor and major that have taken place in the last 12 months. The experience of putting this document together has been both humbling and enlightening. A huge thank you in due to Dr Sanjay Oak, Director- Medical Education and Major Hospitals for his continued faith in me, his patience, vision and tenacity of purpose. This has helped shaped the document. Gratitude is also due to heads and staff members for sending information on time. The team that helped me put the report together deserves sincere thanks- Gita Nataraj, Sunil Karande, Chetan Kantharia, Padmaja Marathe, Raakhi Tripathi, DG Shenvi, Prabhodhan Potdar and Geeta Phatarphekar. Thank you everyone for meeting the deadline and also staying with me for the last 3 years. My thanks are also due to my head of the department Dr Urmila Thatte for her inputs throughout the making of the report. I owe a debt of gratitude to the students of my department- Namrata Kulkarni, Dr. Santosh Taur and Purbhasha Nayak for going beyond the call of duty and their relentless efforts at follow up. Lastly thanks are also due to Lakshmesh and Kalpesh at Urvi Compugraphics and Dr Lopa Mehta for painstaking editing, formatting, and inputs in the cover design. While the compilation has been done over a month with utmost care, its sheer magnitude and diversity may have led to omissions and inadvertent errors. I request the staff members to bear with me. Efforts have gone into making the document comprehensive, yet discerning. It is hoped that as one sifts through the pages, the quality and quantum of patient care, education and research come through and we look ahead to 2011 with new hope and zest.
