The workshop organized by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology on crucial topics such as Postpartum Hemorrhage, Eclampsia, and Family Planning is a prime example of our commitment to advancing medical education. This initiative not only equips our future healthcare professionals with essential skills but also fosters a spirit of collaboration and inquiry among students. The incorporation of the SUGAM Model into the discussions reflects our proactive approach to addressing pressing health challenges and ensuring that we meet the unmet needs of our communities."

As a part of GENESIS 2024 the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGY) hosted an insightful workshop focusing on the management of Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH), Eclampsia, and Family Planning Options. The workshop commenced with a welcome address by Dr. Jyoti Nath Modi, Organizing Secretary and Professor of OBGY, who highlighted the critical importance of the workshop's topics in everyday medical practice. Dr Ajay Halder, Professor of OBGY, further encouraged the student delegates to maximize their learning experience.

Prof. Dr. K. Pushpalatha, Head of the OBGY Department introduced the SUGAM Model, an initiative by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, aimed at addressing unmet contraceptive needs in line with World Population Day. She invited feedback from student delegates to enhance the academic standards of the department.

The workshop featured three sequential sessions dedicated to PPH, Eclampsia, and Family Planning, incorporating interactive elements such as presentations, drills, quizzes, role plays, and discussions.

These sessions were led by a passionate team comprising faculty members, junior and senior residents, and nursing staff from the OBGY Department.
