Post Graduate Diploma in Geriatric Medicine (PGDGM) Programme is a one-year Diploma Programme of 32
credits (14 credits in theory and 18 credits in practical). This programme was launched in January, 2004. The
number of Programme Study Centres activated at present are 21. This programme will equip the practicing
Doctors with knowledge and skills in the field of Geriatric Medicine and enable them to deal with the special
problems faced by the elderly. With increased expectancy of life over the years, the proportion of elderly

of diseases vary in this age group and drug dosages and interactions also differ. Geriatric management requires
not only medical interventions but also special economic and environmental interventions. This programme aims
at not only enhancing the knowledge but also multi skilling the doctors so as that they can provide primary
level care to the elderly.
Objectives
The broad objectives of this programme are to:
upgrade the knowledge and skills for providing comprehensive health care to elderly;
inculcate the inter-disciplinary approach for diagnosing and management of geriatric health problems; and
improve the clinical, social and communication skills by providing hands on training in Medical Colleges
and District Hospitals.

sectors. This will ultimately help to empower accessibility to dialysis facility in various parts of the country including
the northeastern.

imbibe comprehensive knowledge on basics of nephrology as related to haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis
and renal transplant;
create temporary vascular access.

The Certificate in Health Care Waste Management (CHCWM) Programme is a 6 Months Certificate Programme
developed and launched in collaboration with WHO-SEARO for the SEAR countries in January 2006. The
eligibility requirement of the programme is 10+2. It can be taken up by doctors, nurses paramedics, health
managers and other professional workers in health sector. The Programme consists of 14 credits. The programme
is on offer in 24 Programme Study Centres. The concern for bio-medical waste management has been felt
globally with the rise in deadly infections such as AIDS and Hepatitis B. There has also been an increase in
the indiscriminate disposal of health care waste. The main bottleneck to sound health care waste management
practices is lack of training and appropriate skills to manage waste by different health care functionaries.
To cater to the needs of health care functionaries and impart good waste management practices, Programme
in Health Care Waste Management has been developed. The Programme is also offered internationally both
in South East Asia Countries as well as other countries. Partner Institutions (Programme study centre) have
already been established in Bangladesh, Nepal and Mongolia.
Objectives
The broad objectives of this programme are to:
sensitize the learner about health care waste and its impact on our health and environment;
acquaint the learner about the existing legislation, knowledge and practices regarding infection;
control and health care waste management practices in the countries of South- East Asia Region; and
equip the learner with skills to manage health care waste effectively and safely.
