Itinerary

 

26th Oct, Wed / Day 01            Arrive Delhi

A warm Indian welcome awaits you upon your arrival in Delhi, where you will be met by your travel manager and transferred to your hotel. 

      

Delhi stands as the capital of modern India. Here you can see the mingling of the old and new India; the ancient and the modern. Delhi is made up of seven ancient cities, spanning the period from the 11th to 20th centuries. It has seen the rise and fall of many emperors which have left behind a plethora of monuments that commemorate the grandeur and glory of bygone ages. Very few cities in the world can express such a profusion of architectural styles.

27th Oct, Thu / Day 02             Delhi: Professional Visit

This morning the delegation will visit the MAMC (Maulana Azad Medical College) and associated hospital complex. The complex consists of four integral units, including the Maulana Azad Medical College, Lok Nayak Hospital, Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital and Guru Nanak Eye Center. The college was established twenty two years after the commissioning of Irwin Hospital, a well-established general hospital drawing patients mainly from Delhi and from the neighboring states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan.

 

The college made its humble beginning in the hospital block of Irwin (Lok Nayak) in 1958. The foundation of the main building of the college was laid by Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Home Minister of India, on October 24th, 1959. This building was declared open by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru on February 26th, 1961.

 

In 1964, Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital was added to the complex to provide training facilities and super-specialties. The Guru Nanak Eye Centre came into existence on December 20th, 1977 with the commissioning of a separate outpatient department for ophthalmic diseases. The wards for the indoor patients were added in 1986. The long awaited demand of the residents of Union Territory of Delhi for a dental wing was met with the establishment of a separate dental wing in 1983. This wing became a fully established Dental College in 2003.
