Hospital has DNB Paediatrics ,DNB medicine, and DNB family medicine seats.
Diploma seats in obs gynec, and anaesthesia .
While choosing surgery, always give MS colleges even in periphery before DNB…DNB metro cities have minimal hands-on…DNB in govt college> Trust hospitals > then Pvt and corporate ones.
Being a trust hospital CIHSR, has huge patient load . The ultimate referral centre in Nagaland and for patients from Manipur,nearby towns of Assam.
