Prof R K Dhamija, Head of the Department of Neurology of the Lady Hardinge College, Delhi has been appointed as the new director of the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS), Delhi. Dr Dhamija took over the charge of the IHBAS last Friday.
Dr Dhamija as Director of the IHBAS has tremendous responsibility to deliver at a time when Omicron is raising its ugly head and need for deliberation around mental health taking centre stage. An autonomous body under the Delhi Government, IHBAS is the first neuro-psychartic institute in India to get the NABH accreditation.
