Department of Neurology
Overview
The Department of Neurology at Jubilee Mission Medical College began its journey on May 24th, 2000, with a single Neurologist and 30 beds, including a dedicated 6-bed Neuro ICU. Over time, the department has grown to include four Neurologists, catering to an average of 140 outpatients per day and maintaining an inpatient capacity of 60-75 beds. The Neuro ICU now boasts 10 dedicated beds, with an additional 6 beds in the step-down ICU.
Recognized by the Medical Council of India since 2013, the department offers training in DM Neurology with an intake of 2 DM residents annually.
Supporting the clinical team are Junior Resident Doctors, CRRI’s (Compulsory Rotatory Residential Interns), and a dedicated staff of 15 ICU personnel and 30 ward staff members. Together, they ensure comprehensive care and treatment for patients with neurological disorders, providing both outpatient and inpatient services, as well as critical care management in the Neuro ICU.
Academics
Academics forms a very important part of the daily routine in the Department of Neurology. We have a 100% pass record including a Rank II and IV in the KUHS.
