About the Library

Our library was established in 1983 and has grown with the development of the institute. Its aim is to provide access to medical information to the faculty, postgraduate students and research workers of our hospital using conventional "paper" sources such as journals and books as well as the latest "electronic" technology of Internet access, DVDs, CDs and videotapes. The library is situated on the second floor of the Administrative Block.

Its area is 1329 square feet and it has a seating capacity of about 42. It remains open for 12 hours a day, six days a week. Its present collection consists of 2500 books and 3000 bound journals. We currently subscribe to 143 journals.

The Library Staff who is overseen by a Library Committee looks after the day-to-day affairs of the library.
