Clinical Training : Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital

Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital is one of the premiere health care institutions of Govt. of Mauritius which provides tertiary quality healthcare and medical facilities to the people of Mauritius.  The foundation stone of the Hospital was laid in October 1984 by Shri Zail Singh, the President of India. The first phase of the project began in 1985 and the Hospital was opened officially on 14th November 1990, the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister in whose memory the hospital is named. The bed strength of hospital is 550 and is likely to be increased by Govt. of Mauritius.

The students of Padmashree Dr.D.Y.Patil Medical College will be provided clinical training in the Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital. The hospital provides totally free services to the patients; hence there is plenty of clinical material available for post graduate students which are a great asset for the post graduate clinical studies including surgical and clinical experience.

An agreement has been made with the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life, for training of our students in this hospital. The existing facilities at the hospital satisfy the training norms laid down by the Medical Council of Mauritius.
