Anesthesiology


Anaesthesia, a medical specialty, helps to manage pain before, during, and after the procedure. The administration of anaesthesia is a very important procedure that requires considerable experience.

In all specialities, including neurosurgery, oncology surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics, urology, kidney transplant and minimal access surgery, joint replacement and day care operations, our department offers round-the-clock anaesthesia service for emergent and elective surgical procedures. The Pain Care Unit offers both chronic and acute pain management services.
