Services Provided:
The Department functions as a Clinical Microbiology Laboratory with a focus on the clinical and lab diagnosis of infectious diseases and has been upgraded for teaching and research activities. All OPD samples for microbiological investigations are received up to 1:00 p.m. on all working days and emergency samples are accepted 24 hours. Department along with the hospital is ISO certified. It has been participating in EQAS for bacteriology and serology run by IAMM, EQAS VDRL conducted by VMMC and EQAS Mycology program by PGI Chandigarh.
It has been giving training to students pursuing PhD, MSc (Microbiology), BSc (Microbiology), BMLT, DMLT and biotechnology courses.
Department also supervises hospital biomedical waste management and hospital infection control and gives training to hospital staff for this.
