Lucknow :

King George’s Medical University (KGMU) has become the first medical institute in the country to have a paediatrics orthopaedic department after the state government gave its nod on Wednesday.

The super-speciality department will also start an MCh degree in paediatrics orthopaedic, currently nowhere else in the country.

The out patient department (OPD) will be functional from June 15 at limb centre and 30 beds would be available for admission of patients from July.

The government sanctioned posts of five faculty members and three senior residents in the department. KGMU had applied for the super-speciality department in April-May 2016. “It took us one and a half year to get MCI’s consent. In November 2017, we asked the state government for manpower,” said Prof Ajai Singh, the first head of the department.

Prof Singh had been running a single faculty unit since 2008, receiving patients from several states. “The department will help in creating a policy for injured children and treatment protocol,” he said.

Around 36% of the patients coming to KGMU Trauma Centre are children with orthopaedic and associated injuries.
