Pathology is an exciting discipline because it transcends the traditional boundaries between basic and clinical sciences and is poised to understand human diseases' pathogenesis at the molecular level. In simple terms, it’s the study of disease, primarily concerning the cause, origin, and nature of the disease. It’s a bridge between science and medicine.
The department of Pathology is engaged in diagnostic work that caters primarily to MNR-MCH. It offers comprehensive services in Histopathology, Cytology, Clinical pathology, and Hematology.
A highly enthusiastic, experienced pathologist heads the department. It comprises both young and experienced faculty actively involved in diagnostic work, research, curriculum development, undergraduate, postgraduate, and allied health students teaching.
