Research Centre

A.J. Hospital & Research Centre began its quest for excellence in healthcare in the year 2002 with the vision of becoming a pioneering institution in the field. Since then we have been making rapid strides in our various endeavors connected with this project. Many of our achievements have been service oriented resulting in enormous benefits to society. Our institution has also grown in magnitude over years and it is important that we chronicle the development over the years.

It is with a view to fulfill these objectives that we have convinced the idea of bringing out this publication. The main focus of this news bulletin is to project the achievements of the various departments of the hospital and also highlight the facilities and services available. The activities and initiatives of the individuals and associations connected with the institutions too will be widely covered. Interesting articles by our colleagues and associates too will be published.

We hope you will enjoy this presentation which has been brought out with painstaking effort by our editorial team. I congratulate the members of the news bulletin committee on their well deserved success in compiling this attractive publication. I also invite the suggestions and opinions from our readers to improve this magazine which we hope will truly come to reflect the culture of excellence which we strive to create at AJ institutions.
