From the Desk of the Director…
It is my privileged honor to submit the Annual Report of All India Institute of Medical Sciences
(AIIMS), Jodhpur for the year 2016-17.
AIIMS, Jodhpur is one of the six new AIIMS established under the PMSSY scheme and granted status
of Institution of National Importance.
With the mission to be a Centre of Excellence in medical education, training, research and patient
care, AIIMS Jodhpur began its academic journey on 17th September 2012. AIIMS, Jodhpur was the
second AIIMS after AIIMS, New Delhi, to begin its academic session in the country. During the
academic year 2016-17 the institute admitted 100 MBBS students. The College of Nursing admitted
60 students. AIIMS Jodhpur continues to be the preferred choice for the students for MBBS and B.Sc
(Hons.) Nursing. The first batch of MBBS students (batch 2012) started their Internship from 1st
January 2017. The year 2016-17 marked the beginning of Post Graduate courses at AIIMS Jodhpur.
Students enrolled in these courses in both July and January sessions, thereby proving that AIIMS
Jodhpur has made its mark in the field of medical education and research. The year also marked the
beginning of the School of Public Health at AIIMS Jodhpur. With this, AIIMS Jodhpur has become the
first AIIMS in the country (including AIIMS, New Delhi) to initiate the course of Master of Public
Health (MPH).
The faculty strength of AIIMS Jodhpur has increased during the year 2016-17 with recruitments both
in the Medical College and College of Nursing. With this the number of Super-specialties and

Specialties rendering patient care has also increased. This is evident with the increase in patient
consultations to more than 2 lacs in the year (an increase of nearly 40% compared to 2015-16). The
IPD admissions also increased by nearly 46% over the previous year. The number of operative
procedures increased by about 47% (YoY). The laboratory services have also increased by 43% along
with addition of equipment like 256 slice state of the art CT scan. The Institute also started
teleconferencing facilities to cater to the peripheral centres during the year.
AIIMS Jodhpur was awarded the “Certificate of Commendation” and a sum of Rupees Fifty Lacs by
the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India under its “Kayakalp Programme”.
The year 2016-17 saw the faculty members work tirelessly to impart education and training to students
as well as inculcate a research aptitude in the students through ICMR STS and other research projects.
Along with this, the research at the Institute has grown with the faculty members procuring both
Extramural and Intramural funding for their projects. The faculty have chaired sessions and presented
their work at various International and National Conferences. They have been recognized and
awarded for the work in their filed by various associations, societies and institutions.
The students have been provided a comfortable atmosphere for their overall growth. They have
excelled in both academics and extra-curricular activities during the year.
AIIMS Jodhpur has continued to grow its services by being totally paperless, in line with the Govt. of
India’s “Digital India” initiative. The institute has hosted numerous International and National
Conferences, CMEs and Workshops during the year. The Institute also contributed to Social Welfare
through its Public Awareness Lectures to create awareness about various diseases among the masses.
The Institute has been thoroughly supported by Govt. of India and because of this support AIIMS
Jodhpur has been able to make steady progress in terms of manpower, resources, facilities and
infrastructure. The Institute has continued to fulfill its responsibility towards the people of the region
by providing affordable quality tertiary healthcare. We look forward to continuing this growth in the
years to come and meet the expectations of the nation by excelling in medical education, research and
patient care with the continued support and guidance of Govt. of India.
This Annual report is a testament to the progress of AIIMS Jodhpur during 2016-17.

Technological advances in medicine has created a challenge for Medical Schools for
imparting training to the medical graduates empowering them with skills for life long learning.
The rapid development in medicine will make the knowledge today obsolete in coming
decades. The new AIIMS have been established under PMSSY with the aim of correcting
regional imbalances in quality tertiary level healthcare in the country, and attaining self-
sufficiency in graduate and postgraduate medical education and training in underserved
areas of the country. As a premier Institute, AIIMS not only need to be leader in Health
services but also to be a Centre of excellence in Medical Education Technology (MET) in
Western India. The mandate to AIIMS provide it to produce evidences towards innovative
education technology which aligns with this to need of the society. The Faculty Development
modules at AIIMS Jodhpur strives to provide an institutional framework that includes a broad
range of activities to help renew and assist faculty in their multiple academic roles. These
activities are designed to improve the knowledge and skills essential to their performance as
educators, and to assist faculty members in gaining a better understanding of academic
career development, mentoring, and leadership. Apart from this, learners are provided an
opportunity which provides a continuum to the refinement of their competencies through
further learning mainly focused on self-learning and post-graduation.
We have already built up our foundation to implement Competency Based Medical Education
to some if not all component. This is being done without altering the course duration or

deviation from philosophy of MCI or AIIMS. The 50% weightage for internal assessment
provides enough opportunity to develop competencies in Medical Knowledge, Patient Care,
Interpersonal and Communication Skills, professionalism, System Based Practice and
Practice based Learning. Global leaders in medical educators are looking keenly on
development of medical education scenario in India. There is no doubt that doctors trained in
India are doing quite well in countries abroad proving that traditional system of teaching does
have its own value. Our sincere efforts in keeping pace with our counterpart worldwide and
also enhancing our learning environment for the physician of tomorrow will definitely reap rich
dividend in the form of our healthy society. Every teacher needs herself/himself keep
updating with new and contemporary technology. There are many pedagogical principles and
techniques which a medical teacher is required to know in order to facilitate his/her student’s
learning. Hence there is a need for medical faculty to be trained in these technologies through
faculty development program. AIIMS is determined to be a leader in medical education. Many
innovations are being discussed during special sessions and during Clinical Grand Rounds.
Passionate faculty members are using the innovations in their daily teaching practices.
AIIMS Jodhpur is also making an effort to further develop reforms in medical education
through following activities:
1. Need based modules in Medical Education Technology
2. Clinical Grand Rounds- every Wednesdays
3. Clinico-pathological conference- Every Fridays
4. Research methodology series- every fortnightly on Thursdays
5. Special sessions on sensitization to new faculty
6. Every department has augmented their teaching with JRs and PGs
7. Regular feedback from students
New teaching methods have also been introduced at AIIMS Jodhpur in year 2016-2017.
Having each faculty being trained in basic teaching technology, our curriculum being same
as AIIMS Delhi, we introduced concept of student centered, problem based, integrated,
community oriented and experiential learning for our students. This we have been able to
deliver through:
1. Foundation course: A two week long program for 1st year MBBS students preparing
them to learn medicine effectively, to exploit the full potential of technology offered by
the Institute and prepare them to be a lifelong learner. In addition, students are
sensitized to concepts of first aid, basic life support, preventing bio-hazards, skills in

communication, professionalism, humanities, stress management, self-development

and career enhancement. The feedback from students was encouraging
2. Orientation to Clinical Teaching: A structured program of 3 weeks for 3rd MBBS
students making them aware of contextual learning of 2 nd Professional subjects with
patient at the centre stage. Students are sensitized to elicit clinical history, examination
techniques and patient care with importance of communication skills and electronic
record keeping.
3. Ambulatory Clinical teaching for 3rd Semester MBBS: Bringing medical students
out of the cocoon of teacher centered safe classroom teaching to realities of a
professional course which demands huge amount of self directed but Preceptor guided
learning in OPD setting is inspiring. This the real learning where one can learn by
observation. OPD offers variety of clinical conditions reflecting tip of the iceberg and
encourage students to adopt more holistic and community oriented attitude in patient
care.
4. Integrated teaching- Theme based topics with engagement of students in contextual
learning also encouraged interdepartmental interactions.
5. Problem based learning: Students are encouraged to explore the case presented as
sequential disclosure using problem triggers so as to encourage active learning. This
time a small part of Clinical posting was utilized for presenting triggers of a clinical
case, elaborated with interactive tutorials and culminated in presentations on
weekends. Overall impact on students was encouraging.
6. Unconventional learning- using video clips, debate, role play, panel discussions and
small group discussion methods.
7. Flip Classroom: Innovative methodology whereby a pre-recorded video with
synchronized PowerPoint presentation is given to students before the class and
classroom time is utilized for discussion, activity, quiz and clarifications. In effect it
enhances the time teacher is engaged with the students and hence enhance their
learning. It was also observed that teachers using Flip Class were more interactive
during traditional classes too.
8. Clickers (Audience Response System): This was star attraction during this
academic year. Its functionality was demonstrated to all faculty during a Clinical Grand
Rounds. Soon many departments start demanding for their classes. The advantages
were even the quietest student was participating, it created more interactive

environment and was also able to provide feedback to the participants. Even it was
used for conducting quizzes for Conferences, workshops and class assessment.
9. Casualty Postings: The second batch of MBBS students were exposed to routine
emergencies in collaboration with Dr S N Medical College, Jodhpur. They learnt how
to provide first aid and management of life threatening conditions and referral to
specialists. The students were posted in afternoon to the casualty and morning time
was used for clerkship observation of patients in IPD.
Feedback from students have been encouraging. Feedback has been considered to be an
important part of curriculum and is unique at AIIMS Jodhpur. All suggestions given by
students were evaluated by Academic Committee and efforts were made to incorporate
positive feasible suggestions in our teaching and learning.

Information Technology Cell
AIIMS Jodhpur takes pride in stating that it has a very robust IT infrastructure for
patient management, teaching and research purposes.
These services include CPMS which is a single window software for managing all patient
related activities of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur. The salient features of
CPMS are as follows - online patient registration, out patient management, admissions and
in patient management, investigation ordering and retrieval of reports, patient referral,
personnel management, store distribution, equipment management, blood bank, medico
legal aspects, health statistics, family planning reproductive health and maternal and child
health activities. In addition, the system also caters to ancillary; hospital services such as

institution (rural and urban healthcare centers etc.). Can also be accessed from the same

software, it includes a real time monitoring of patient movement, inter-hospital transfer of all
patients and their hospital information, as required.
The CPMS was Inaugurated by Shri. Jagat Prakash Nadda, Honorable Minister of Health
and Family welfare, Government of India on 6th June 2015. The inauguration was attended
by Shri. Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Shri. Manoj Rajoria Honorable Members of Parliament
(MPs) and members of Institute body, Prof CVR Murty, Director, IIT, Jodhpur.
Many other dignitaries including Shri. Rajendra Rathore, health Minister Governemt of
Rajasthan, Shri Gajendra Singh Khimsar Minister for Industry, Government of Rajasthan,
Shri Narayan Lal Panchariya, M.P, Rajya Sabha, Shri P.P Choudhary, M.P, Lok Sabha, Shri
Ram Narayan Dudi, M.P. Rajya Sabha, Shri Jaswant Singh Bishnoi, Chairman Central Wool

The country already has the advantage of a strong IT fibre backbone and indigenous satellite
communication technology with trained human resources. With enhanced efforts,
telemedicine could help bring specialized healthcare to the remotest corners of the country.
Telemedicine is likely to provide the advantages of tele-diagnosis, especially in the areas of
cardiology, pathology, dermatology, and radiodiagnosis besides effectively operationalizing
Continuing Medical Education (CME) programmes. AIIMS Jodhpur takes pride that most of
the vision of MOHFW and MeITY has been implemented such as:-
Telemedicine: Telemedicine can be defined as the use of electronic communication
technology to exchange patient information and provision of health care services at remote
locations. Global Telemedicine has gone far beyond providing health care services alone. It
is now being extensively used also for education, research and management of data. It is,
however, paradoxical that despite India’s strength in information technology, the use of
telemedicine is still at a fairly nascent stage especially in the public health sector. AIIMS
Jodhpur has already started Telemedicine setup and acts as the Nodal Center of referral and
consultation of patients of Pali District Hospital.
Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in health can be broadly in four
areas viz. Education, Research, Referral, and Management of Data.
• Health and Education: When ICT is applied to medical education, it is possible to make
high quality education available pan India seamlessly.
• Hospital Management System: It is common experience that work places in the health
systems are not adequately governed especially in remote areas. The management of
medical colleges and district hospitals can be strengthened significantly with the application
of Hospital Management System.
• Health Research: ICT can potentially transform the medical scene in India, by bringing
about a sea-change in medical research. From traditional clinical research to the modern
synthetic biology-based research, the opportunity is immense. Work on problems such as

Cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and therapy can benefit from inter disciplinary
cooperation. Medical fraternity has availed such benefits when MRI and Nuclear Imaging was
integrated into medicine a few decades ago.
• Health and Management of Data: Electronic Medical Records (EMR), is a fundamental
pre-requisite in using ICT seamlessly in healthcare. While EMR is available in several forms,
size, shape, and format, Indian medical community with a specific mandate should
standardize EMR, create and establish ICT platforms for using EMR based systems, for
universal benefits.
The vision of Digital India is included in our endeavors to achieve a paperless hospital
management and Date Storage system.
All Out Patient Department (OPD) activity, Patient Registration- one time, bar coded,
Consultation, Prescription, Investigation, Vaccination, Drugs ,Injection, Physiotherapy etc. all

The system tracks each cash deposit of any kind and cash exit from the hospital at all cash
counters. It keeps track of refunds and generates a detailed daily cash record.
Biomedical waste generation, its transport and disposal are tracked from each collection site
to the incineration site, with warning if a bag is missed. The total amount of waste generated
in any hospital system is recorded category (as per safety guidelines) for monitoring purpose.
Blood Bank Management is completely online from blood donation, its storage and the issue
of blood bank and all steps are monitored.

About The Department:

With the vision of providing anaesthesia, pain management and critical services which are at
par with the best in the world, the Department of Anaesthesiology at AIIMS Jodhpur is
providing services in OT complex (six operation theatres), five bedded high dependency unit
(HDU) and six bedded Intensive Care Unit (ICU). During the said academic year, the services
were extended for procedures in DSA room, labour analgesia in labour room and support
was provided for angioplasties being done by the cardiologist. In addition, procedures for
chronic pain management like epidural steroid injection, nerve root blocks, lumbar
sympathectomy, neurolytic block for trigeminal neuralgia were successfully performed.
Research projects (including intramural) are being conducted in the department after
approval by institutional ethical committee. On the academic front, Journal Clubs are regularly
conducted where articles from reputed journal are critically appraised. Around 30 papers
were published by the faculty and senior residents of the department during the said
academic period. We publish On-Line Journal of Anaesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain:
“The Indian Anaesthetists’ Forum” Published by Wolters Kluwer India Pvt. Ltd. at
http://www.theiaforum.org (E – ISSN: 0973-0311). The journal is indexed with DOAJ, EBSCO
host, HINARI, NLM catalog and google scholar)
The department is also actively involved in training activities. The department is regularly
conducting “AIIMS Jodhpur certified BLS course” for medical and paramedical staff to
manage in-hospital cardiac arrest. In addition to AHA BLS guidelines, the course includes the
use of bag and mask ventilation, airway insertion, use of adrenaline and pulse oximetry.
American Heart Association (AHA) Certified ‘BLS and ACLS Provider Course’ was conducted
twice in this period (in February 2017 and November 2016). A nurses training program on
oral care and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) prevention was conducted in

association with ISCCM city branch on 10th February 2017. Vertebroplasty Workshop was
conducted on 14th October 2016.
In addition to the clinical, academic and training activities, we are working for forthcoming
zonal and state conference and workshops.

About Department:
Department of Biochemistry started with the instituting of AIIMS Jodhpur by the Ministry of
Health & Family Welfare, Government of India under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha
Yojna (PMSSY) in September 2012. The department has been involved into teaching,
research and patient care services by way of providing advanced and routine biochemical
analyses for diagnosis and prognosis.
FACILITIES AND SERVICES

 Teaching
The department is actively involved in the undergraduate (MBBS and Nursing) and post
graduate (MD Biochemistry) teaching. We use latest and innovative techniques for the
teaching of the future doctors. Our lectures are both didactic and interactive which includes
audio visual presentations and group discussions during tutorials. The teaching has been
made interesting by providing food for thought using the problem based study like objectively
structured clinical cases and practical exercises. Regular seminars and journal clubs are an
important feature for the post graduate students to keep them updated with the latest
research and technology.
 OPD Diagnostic Services
The Department of Biochemistry is catering to a fully functional Clinical Biochemistry
Laboratory facility 24 hours since last two years. The laboratory is equipped with high end
fully automated chemistry analysers including Beckman and Coulter AU 480, 680, 5800,
Seimens Advia Centaur, Diasorin Liason. The daily OPD patient care is strongly supported
by these services. The analytes on the Biochemistry Laboratory panel include the routine
clinical chemistry analysis like Lipid Profile, Liver function Tests, Renal function tests, Blood
sugar, electrolytes etc. The specialized analytes available on the panel includes hormones
of fertility, bone, anemia, diabetes panel etc. It also includes analysis of blood lead levels,
blood Zinc levels (using AAS), vitamins and immunologic markers like Rheumatoid factor,
ANA, ds DNA and Hs CRP.

The IPD Biochemistry lab and Molecular Diagnostics lab is well equipped with state of art
analysers including fully automated chemistry analysers, chemileuminiscence analysers,
flowcytometer, PCR, RT-PCR etc. The research lab at the medical college is well equipped
with high end equipments facilitating research undertaken at the department by the various
faculties’ and PG students. The research is equipped for the molecular research, inborn error
research etc. The instruments include HPLC, PCR, RT –PCR, gel electrophoresis (vertical &
horizontal), ELISAreader, Microplate reader and recently Atomic absorption
spectrophotometer has been added to the spectrum of the instruments that is facilitating the
research in trace elements and heavy metal toxicity.
 I P D Diagnostic Services
The Biochemistry Laboratory at AIIMS Jodhpur is functional 24 hours since March 2015 and
is efficiently providing services to the IPD patients.
 Departmental Research Projects
The Department has an independent Research laboratory with facilities for research in the
field of genetics, molecular biology, immunology, clinical chemistry, hormones, nutrition etc.
It is the recognized Lead Referral Centre by the Indian Society for Lead Awareness and
Research. The faculties at the department have been actively involved in the research
activities and have completed four intramural funded projects and eight ICMR STS projects.
The findings of the projects have been presented at various scientific meetings and published
in peer reviewed journals. Currently there are 18 ongoing intramural projects in collaboration
with various clinical and non-clinical specialties. These projects cover broad spectra of
research extending from basic clinical chemistry research to molecular biology based
research. Currently there are 5 faculty members, 4 Senior Resident, 5 Non Academic Junior
Residents, 3 Academic Junior Residents, 2 post-doc fellows and 15 non-teaching laboratory
technical staff.
 Future Plans
The team at Department of Biochemistry is committed to establish a fully functional molecular
biology laboratory and high end clinical laboratory for inborn error diagnosis at the earliest
and make optimal utilization of the various instruments and equipment’s available at the
Biochemistry laboratory. We have taken the first step in the direction and already are working
on projects based on DNA, mRNA, miRNA expression using PCR and RT-PCR, diagnosis of
inborn errors of amino acid metabolism using HPLC and blood lead levels using AAS.
We strive to establish a world class molecular diagnostic and research facility at AIIMS
Jodhpur by collaborating with other National and International research institutes.

Department of Dermatology

1 Dr. Abhishek Bhardwaj Associate Professor
2 Dr. Saurabh Singh Assistant Professor

The Department of Dermatology at AIIMS Jodhpur strives to be a center for excellence in
patient care, teaching and research. The period of last 12 months, have been of a constant
endeavor to construct and follow a road map for establishing a structure that will satisfactorily
meet the best standards.
With our efforts we have been able to increase our OPD load, IPD admissions and have
added several services like Dermatologic procedures, Dermato-pathology, Dermoscopy and
allergic patch testing. Infact presently, our OPD is one of the busiest in the hospital. Our
impetus is on providing care by practicing Evidence based Medicine.
The department is actively involved in undergraduate MBBS teaching with lectures, clinical
teaching, case-presentations. For keeping abreast with the rapidly changing facets of our
discipline, we are regularly holding a Departmental Journal club.
To uphold the spirit of Research, the department is currently conducting 3 research projects.
Dissemination of knowledge is another priority of the department and for this we plan to
conduct workshops/ CMEs in near future, directed to both the students and the specialists.

The Department of Pharmacology is a designated “Adverse Drug Monitoring Center” (AMC)
under “Pharmacovigilance Programme of India” (PvPI) since 2014. The Department has
contributed >300 Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) so far to Vigi Flow database. For optimum
functionality of AMC, department is regularly conducting seminars among the institute’s
faculty, residents, nursing and pharmacy staff regarding Pharmacovigilance and ADR
reporting. Department is also planning to establish a “Toxicovigilance, Hemovigilance &
Materiovigilance centre”. Department is also keen to establish “Drug information centre”.
Apart from regular teaching activities, department faculties are engaged in various research
projects, the details of which are given below. Also Ultra-High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (UHPLC) is installed and the department is in process to start “Therapeutic
Drug Monitoring” (TDM) services. To begin, TDM for phenytoin and carbamazepine will be

done and later on other drugs will expand the list. The department is also planning to initiate
Pharmacogenomics for various drugs.
Steps are being taken to establish a CPCSEA certified “Animal house” which is an essential
requirement of the institute. Animals kept would be utilized by faculty members after
institution’s ethical clearance; for research work or skill development.
Department presently have 3 senior and 2 junior residents. The department has four
approved M.D. seats and two M.D. students are expected to join in July session. The PhD
students are also going to join the department as we have PhD teachers in the department.
Department organized workshop on “Introduction to Cochrane Systematic Reviews and
Meta-analysis” at AIIMS- Jodhpur, on 20th August 2016. Prof. Prathap Tharyan, a core
member of Southeast Cochrane Network, was the resource faculty. It was one of the most
useful workshop attended by most of AIIMS faculty and residents.
Apart from this, faculty & residents have attended and presented poster/ oral paper at various
conference venues across the country.

Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

1 Dr. Abhay Elhance Professor
Incharge of the Department Department of Orthopaedics

The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at AIIMS Jodhpur has grown and
shown steady progress in all aspects including patient care, training and research.
After Inauguration of PMR block department has extended its services in various sections of
neuro-rehab, Multi-disciplinary approach for pain management, musculoskeletal rehab,
paediatric and cardio pulmonary rehabilitation.
New machines are installed in our department including CPM for upper and lower limb,
traction (cervical / lumbar).
Total numbers of OPD patients has also shown stiff rise with 17,052 new patients and 20,000
Follow-up patients.
After taking charge of Department under guidance of Dr. Abhay Elhence the department has
shown progress in IPD management and continued its services towards Rehabilitation. There
were a total of 67 patients admitted for neurorehabilitation and 108 patients for pain
management.
Department has also boosted its interventional pain management in collaboration with
Radiodiagnosis department with approximately 419 interventions in past 1 year.
Department has also started 8 new research project in collaboration with other department.
Completed 2 Research projects, 6 projects in progress (Ongoing)
All in all, it would be fair to say that the department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
at AIIMS Jodhpur has shown good progress on all fronts.

Department of Physiology

1 Dr. Sabyasachi Sircar Professor and Head
2 Dr. Rajesh Sharma Additional Professor
3. Dr. Abhinav Dixit Additional Professor
4. Dr. Bharati Mehta Additional Professor
5. Dr. Purnima Sharma Associate Professor
6. Dr. Om Lata Bhagat Associate Professor
7. Dr. Bharti Bhandari Associate Professor
8. Dr. Prathamesh Haridas Kamble Assistant Professor

The Department of Physiology presently has eight faculty members, three senior residents
and four junior residents (postgraduate students). The department is primarily involved in
teaching MBBS and BSc Nursing students. It is also providing to patients laboratory services
like Autonomic Function Tests (AFT) and Evoked Potentials.
The undergraduate students are taught by didactic lectures. Teachers have been encouraged
to upload the video-record of their lectures on the internet for the benefit of the students.
Besides, there are regular tutorials wherein the students interact with the faculty members in
small groups. There are two fully functional laboratories for teaching the students: the clinical
physiology and hematology labs. The students perform experiments related to various
aspects of medical physiology in these laboratories. Newer practicals like ‘audiometry’ and
‘viewing of stereogram’ have been introduced while practical training in Retinoscopy using
the ‘schematic eye’ is in the pipeline.
The internal assessment of students comprises the “system-completion tests” and the
“semester examinations”; the former is entirely MCQ based, keeping in view the National Exit
Examination which is in the offing and will be entirely MCQ-based. In the practical, the
students are tested on their psychomotor and cognitive skills by Objectively Structured
Practical Examination (OSPE).
The department is also actively involved in research. Besides working on intramural projects,
its faculty members have submitted projects to ICMR and other external funding agencies for
extramural grants. Some faculty members are guides to undergraduate students for the ICMR
STS projects. State-of-the-art laboratories for autonomic functions and neurophysiology are
functional in the department and are being used for research.

Department of Psychiatry

1. Dr. Naresh Nebhinani Associate Professor
2. Dr. Jitender Aneja Assistant Professor

In year 2013 Department of Psychiatry has started outdoor facilities including counselling
services, and later extended to indoor facilities. Broadly we are catering to Patients with
Psychiatric disorders, Substance use disorders and Psycho-Sexual disorders.
In our outdoor clinic we are serving to patients with common mental disorders, psychosomatic
disorders, stress related problems, childhood disorders, geriatric problems, substance use
disorders, marital and psychosexual disorders etc. We are seeing new patients as well as
referred patients from other departments in and outside AIIMS Jodhpur. We are providing
pharmacotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and psychological therapies like
Psychoeducation, behavioural therapy, psychotherapy, and also teaching various relaxation
exercises.
We are running three special clinics: Drug Deaddiction Clinic (DDC) (Tuesday), Stress
Prevention Clinic (SPC) (Wednesday) and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic (CAPC)
(Thursday). We are having weekly departmental academics in form of seminar, journal club,
formal teaching, and psychotherapy forum.
We are also providing additional services to Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Border
Security Force (BSF), Police academy, Jai Narayan Vyas University, Schools and Colleges
and Yoga centre for awareness lectures related to stress, psychiatric disorders, and
substance abuse as well as for capacity building.
We are teaching clinical skills, basic sciences and applications of Psychiatry to B.Sc. Nursing
(Hons) and M.B.B.S. students.
In year 2016-2017, our faculty have participated in several academic forums- conferences,
workshops and discussions and presented scientific papers, and delivered guest lectures.
In year 2016-2017 we have completed following three projects: ‘Assessment of metabolic
abnormalities in patients with Schizophrenia: A longitudinal study with Psychoeducational
intervention’ (as Principal investigator), a Multicentric project of Indian Association of Geriatric
Mental Health on ‘Symptom profile of depression among elderly’ (as Co-investigator), and an
intramural project on ‘Transthyretin (TTR): Plausible Role in Depression in Subjects
Undergoing Thyroid Profiling and found Euthyroid’ (as Co-investigator).

Department of Transfusion Medicine & Blood Bank

1 Dr. Archana Bajpayee Associate Professor
2 Dr. Saptarshi Mandal Assistant Professor

At the opening of the financial year 2015-16 AIIMS Jodhpur Blood Bank was barely two
months old. Now at the end of the financial year16-17 we have progressed a long way in the
two years. The statistics below is cited below with the % growth from last year in bracket (%
increase/drop).
Blood & Platelet Donations: Between April 2016 to March 2017, 2188 donors were
screened (18% increase) and 1975 donated (19% increase), of which 132 were apheresis
donations (increased 200% ie tripled). About 46% of donations ie 1015 units were collected
from 27 Camps and rest were in-house collections. A Voluntary Donor Register is being
maintained at the Blood Bank for voluntary donors.
Transfusion transmitted Infection screening: All the 1975 collected units were tested for
the five mandatory markers using the most sensitive serological tests in the market. Positive
screen results came in Hepatitis B for 30 (1.51% as compared to 1.33% last year), HIV for 1
(0.05% as compared to 0.42% last year), HCV for 3 (0.15% compared to 0.18% last year)
and VDRL for 3 (0.18%) and malaria in none. Positive donors were called for counselling,
referral & follow up. We are currently in the process of installation of Individual Donor Nucleic
Acid testing which is internationally the most sensitive method of screening with shortest
"window period" for detection for the viral TTI.
Component Preparation: From the beginning the blood bank has tried to maintain 100%
components policy. During this year 5725 components were made (24% increase): Packed
red Blood Cells (PRBC) 1822 (14% increase), Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) 1672 (23%
increase), Random Donor Platelet (RDP) 1731 (35% increase), Single donor Apheresis
Platelet (SDAP) 132 (Increased 200% ie tripled), Cryoprecipitate (CRYO) 184 (15%
increase), and Cryo Poor Plasma (CPP) 184 (15% increase). For pediatric patients and other
needy patients unit modifications e.g. split units, leukofiltered units, reconstituted unit etc.
have been made on these units prior to issuing as on demand basis..
Issue of Components: During this financial year total 4170 components were issued (43%
increase) including 1958 PRBCs (21% increase) and 1243 FFP (69% increase) and 132
SDAPs (200% increase) during this 12 months.
Apheresis: AIIMS Jodhpur Blood Bank has two apheresis machines— one (Trima Accel)
dedicated to collection has performed 132 plateletapheresis (3 times last year), and the other

machine (Cobe Spectra) is capable of performing both collection and therapeutic apheresis
and also stem cell collection. Therapeutic plasmapheresis was performed on 8 occassion
(62% drop). Dr SN Medical college (SNMC) the state govt medical college has also been
initiated to start plasma pheresis with active support from AIIMS, sometimes difficult patients
have been taken to AIIMS and sometimes routine plasmapheresis have been shifted to
SNMC where some procedures may be done free of cost to patient. This accounts for the
drop in the bulk of routine plasmapheresis at AIIMS.
Therapeutic Phlebotomy: During this 12 months this important modality of treatment has
been performed successfully on 22 occasions (22% increase).
Platelet rich Plasma/fibrin (PRP/PRF): During this year, as a therapeutic service, the blood
bank prepared injectable autologous PRP/PRF for 150 procedures (95% increase ie almost
doubled) in the departments of Orthopedics, Physical medicine & rehabilitation & Dentistry.
Immunohematology: The Blood Bank has been providing regular immunohematology
(Grouping, crossmatching, Direct & Indirect coombs tests, Antibody screen and titre) as well
as specialized diagnostic services including evaluation for hemolytic anemia and PNH (Ham’s
test and sucrose lysis test).
New Instruments: A Semiautomated coagulometer was installed this year for Quality Control
of units. We are also in the process of procurement of a blood component irradiator and an
automated HLA testing platform.
Haemovigilance Programme: Our blood bank is now registered in Haemovigilance
reporting system and we are actively reporting Adverse events of transfusion.
