The foundation stone
of the Carmichael Hospital for Tropical Diseases was
laid by the Governor Lord Carmichael on the 25th February
1916. The Hospital started functioning in 1921 with Lt.
col. J.W.D. Megaw as the first Director and the superientendent
of the Hospital with 116 beds for facilities of the clinical
research. At present, total bed strength is 150 and is
being restructured as per G.O. No. HP/O/MS/704/W-12/95,
dated 17.11.98. |
As in the past, the Carmichael
Hospital for Tropical Diseases, continued to provide
facilities for specialised investigation and appropriate
treatment for a large number of patients coming from various
parts of India. The guiding consideration for admission
of patients to the hospital was their stability and usefulness
for teaching, investigation study and research. At present,
Immuno-compromised patients prevalent in the country,
on which workers of the school have been carrying on systemic
investigation studies, are also admitted. |
