National News: Have you ever thought that an Indian hospital can also be named in the list of top medical institutions in the world? And that too a name that becomes number one not only in the country, but in the whole of Asia? Hearing it, but it is a reality - and the name of this reality is Pgimer Chandigarh.

Yes, the Dermatology Department of the prestigious PGI of Chandigarh has shown the feat that used to come only in the institutions of America and Europe. In the international rankings of Edurank, this department has registered its name in Global Top 20, leaving behind 14,000 universities around the world - and number 1 in Asia!

PGI become the best in 'Skin Science'

When it comes to the treatment of skin diseases and research, now you do not need to go to Harvard, Johns Hopkins or London - because the center is in Chandigarh itself, which the world is saluting.
PGI is ranked 19th in Dermatology, and 14 out of 18 institutions above it in this list are only from America. The remaining four of Europe. India? Alone, but shadow.

History on whose strength

The mastermind of this achievement is Dr. Ajay Handa, the head of the department, who is doing in limited resources with his team, which is in high-funded institutions in the United States.

His team's warriors include:

Dr. Davinder Parsad, Sunil Dogra, Dipankar Dey, Sendhil Kumaran, Tarun Narang, Rahul Mahajan, Vinay Keshavamurthy and Vinod Sharma - are not just names, but are the real superstars of Indian Medical Science.

450 patients every day, no relaxation in research

PGI's OPD contains about 450 skin patients daily. Even among such a heavy clinical load, this team is not only serving, but is also printing high -level international research papers.
This success is not only of doctors, but also of residents working with them, who are working hard day and night.

This is not just a rank, it is a result of trust

This ranking of PGI is not only the pride of the institute, but also proves that World-Class Medical Research is possible in India, provided with vision and dedication.
Dr. Handa says- "We have never compromised on quality despite the resource being low, and this became our real power."
