Description

Introduction:

Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBGYN) are two surgical specialties dealing with female reproductive organs, and as such are often combined to form a single medical specialty and postgraduate training program. This combined training prepares the practicing OBGYN to be adept at the surgical management of the entire scope of clinical pathology involving female reproductive organs, and to provide care to both pregnant and non-pregnant patients.

 The Department of obstetrics & Gynaecology was established at Madina Teaching Hospital in 2006 by founder head of department Prof Dr Saadia khan. Later on the administrative responsibilities were carried out by Prof Dr Mubashra Naz alongside her substantive academic/clinical duties.

OBGYN unit offers wide range of academic programs and clinical services. The academic programs cater to undergraduate medical students, interns, FCPS, MCPS residents, fellows. In addition to training of medical students, department is dedicated to impart quality teaching/training to paramedical & nursing students. The dept. has gained accreditation by various health care authorities including Pakistan Medical Commission, University of Health Sciences, College of Physicians and surgeons Pakistan, Royal College of Obstetricians and gynaecology and Pakistan school of nursing and midwifery.

The curriculum is designed to meet the challenges of modern obstetrical and gynaecological care as well as to decrease the devastatingly high maternal mortality rate in Pakistan.
