Research & Publications

The department has been involved in a number of National (Public Health Foundation of India ) and International researches (National Institutes of Health). We take pride that there have been a number of research publications in indexed renowned National & International journals from our unit. Our Departmental research paper has won NNF gold paper award a number of times in our National Neonatal conferences. Understanding the need for strong methodological evidence based clinical practice today, our unit pushes forward research activities by our neonatal fellows and at one given time, 8 – 10 research projects are ongoing. We look forward to keep research and publications one of our top agenda and put Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on the international neonatal research map
