Introduction:
Efficient staff of Medicine
Unit VIII, NIDCH have been doing an incredible job regarding the management of respiratory
patient services under the guidance of Associate Professor Dr. Bipul Kanti
Biswas, Unit Head of MU-VIII, NIDCH. Based on their continuous hard work, this
unit has entered a new era of treatment for pulmonary patients. It is
deeply committed to setting the highest standard for patient care, as well as
professional education.
Participation
in this unit is not only in the academic arena where research activities and
publication take place, but also in showing excellence in patient care at
indoor and outdoor facilities, emergency services, and human resource
development. Working as a team, we are looking forward to nimbly navigate a
very competitive clinical and academic environment, without wavering from our
mission of serving the people of the country.

Along with the above mentioned, students of various other disciplines get
regular training here as a part of their curriculum. As an academic institution
this unit conducts several activities, namely: morning sessions, seminars,
symposiums, conferences, and journal presentations. They are all a part of
continuous medical education (CME), as are research activities.
In addition to academic activities,
patient care and clinical activities are carried out side by side. In broad
terms this unit serves the community by 3 modules-
·
Outpatient
services, where over 100 patients receive treatment per admission day
·
Inpatient
services, where critical patients are admitted and served under close
supervision
·
Pulmonary interventions, where patients are managed with modern and minimal invasive
procedures.
Significant
Achievements: Multiple
minimally invasive procedures and surgeries were conducted under MU-VIII, such
as pleural fluid aspiration and pleural tissue biopsy, tube thoracostomy and
FNAC from lymph nodes.
The unit
also continuously performs extraordinarily on interventional pulmonology.
Last year,
more than 150 fibre optic bronchoscopies were performed under MU-VIII.
Few TBNA
were also done.
Future: Medicine unit-VIII is devoted to providing
evidence based pulmonary care and policy implementation in the coming years. Development
of database for different diseases is a secondary milestone we are eager to
reach. This unit is looking forward to upgrading the scope of pulmonary
intervention, along with the improvement of quality of treatment by
multidisciplinary approach.
