I welcome you all to the 22 Convocation of Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Instituteof Medical Sciences. This Institute's foundation was laid in December 1983.SGPGIMS was established by the Government of Uttar Pradesh with theobjectives of creating a centre of excellence for providing super-specialty medicalcare, education and research in the field of medical science in the state of UttarPradesh; to establish standards of postgraduate and super-specialty medicaleducation to set benchmark for the whole country; and provide training inparamedical and allied fields, particularly in relation to super-specialties.

This tertiary care institute has made its presence felt in spheres of patient care,teaching, training, and research both at national and international levels over past3 decades or so. The Institute is striving hard to grow further and, in 2016-17 wehave added new dimensions to the services provided, some of which I will now liketo present to thisAugust audience.

As regards patient care activities, during the year 2016-17, the Institute providedmedical care to an ever-increasing number of patients. Compared to the year2015-16, the new outpatient registrations rose by 6.1% to 93, 487. This year4,10,173 patients were followed-up in the outpatient clinics, while 49,930 patientswere admitted for care on total bed strength of 987 beds, apportioned to differentspecialties. Over 12,000major surgical procedures were performed.

Under the Government's Antyodaya and Asadhya Rog nidhi schemes, 101 BPLpatients received financial assistance to the tune of approximately Rs. 2.0 Croresin the year 2016-17.

It was initially designed to provide medical care to the SGPGI staffand their dependants, apart from providing cross consultations to the superspecialties. In the past few years, it has been made open to general public andtherefore both IPD and OPD numbers have been ever surging. The Medicine OPDcaters to long standing fever, anemia, tuberculosis, infective, metabolic andlifestyle diseases with special emphasis on preventive health care. The Pediatricsspecialty has been recognized for its work by 3 Indian Association of Pediatrics(IAP) led programs – Neonatal Resuscitation Programme (NRP), PediatricAdvance Life Support system (PALS) and Adolescent care. The Obstetrics andGynecology facility manages normal deliveries, caesarian sections, and pelvicinflammatory diseases.

The has 30 beds catering to medical andsurgical emergencies (except trauma).At least twice the number of these patientsare attended in the Emergency ward, provided first aid and then referred to anappropriate out- patient facility at SGPGI / any other hospital. With the growingpatient load, the ward is inevitably full and beyond its capacity at all times. TheEmergency medicine has also helped by providing beds and care during thedengue outburst and H1N1 pandemic.Availability of round the clock HRF and HISfacility in the emergency has made processes of admission, discharge and drugavailability hassle-free.

The (HRF) was established with a onetime grant of Rs.50.00 lakhs. It has withstood the test of time in operating in a self sustainablemanner. Its motto of Mission SupplyAll” has been fulfilled since there is round theclock availability of drugs and consumables for all patients. HRF has provideddirect service to patients by bedside delivery at reasonable rates (much lower thanMRP). The system operates through national open tender. And, response ofparticipating bidders has been overwhelming as all leading, reputed andmultinational companies dealing in pharmaceuticals and surgical consumableshave responded. The chosen drug and consumable items (through a process)come under the rate contract/ agreement as a cost reduction strategy.

HRF caters for all indoor patients, diagnostic/ procedural centers, OT and ICU's.The drug dispensing is on-line, with transparency and accountability. Costrealization from the patients ensures economic viability of the system and make itself-sustainable. During the financial year 2015-2016, HRF has shifted in a newbuilding. Storage Compactor System has been installed in medicine store forproper storage of medicines. Recently, we have started a new store called GHWard/ OT Unit store in the General Hospital for catering to the needs of in-patientsin General Hospital. Cash counter is now operational for non staff OPD/ Generalhospital patients. Recently, HRF has started the messenger shuttle services alsofor shifting the material to the various areas/ wards, OT and Labs of PMSSY Block.Apart from being more efficient, this system ensures maintenance of the supplychain.

“We Do Not Inherit the Earth from OurAncestors;WeBorrowItfromOurChildren”

The SGPGI residential campus is indeed a wonderful place and has given a lot toits denizens in terms of quality of life. But like anything that is beautiful needs to bepreserved, so is the case with our campus. To preserve and improve SGPGIcampus, concept of “Vibrant Campus” was created. Vibrant Campus Initiatives isa small step taken by few like minded individuals towards making our campus aneven better place, through do-able solutions. The thrust areas of the campaign are“Clean, green campus”, “Waste segregation and composting”, “No littering”, “savewater and electricity” and “say no to polythene”. Informal, interactive sessions,walkathons, skits, poster campaigns have been undertaken in the last few monthsto this effect. The aim is to slowly bring about a change in people's habits, throughinformation, inclusion and persuasion!

To enhance the health of campus dwellers, health related activities are conductedevery now and then. Recently, a walkathon was organized for the residents ofSGPGI campus. The presence of Abhishek Mishra the "Ultra man" was a great

Director alone cannot run such a big institution. In fact, apart from beinginstrumental in keeping the momentum on for all the ongoing projects such NewOPD block construction, establishment of 24 hours lab etc, I can take little creditalone, for discharging any of my duties. It is with pleasure and pride that Iacknowledge the contribution of all my colleagues who have helped me with theonerous task of steering this ship. I am extremely grateful to the members of theInstitute body, Governing body, Finance committee, Academic board, HospitalBoard, Research Committee and Ethics Committee for their active contribution.

Finally to conclude – it is an exciting moment for those who are here to receivetheir degrees. Post-graduation is a major academic milestone in an individual'slife. It is a formal recognition that you are ready to move a step forward towardsacquiring yet more knowledge in the area of your choice. Never in the past have
