Sivagangai GMC Clinical Exposure

Clinical exposure & teaching hospital

The attached government hospital is the main setting for clinical learning. The institution describes multispeciality care and round-the-clock emergency services, with medical, surgical, maternal, paediatric, diagnostic and other departments in its directory. Clinical postings allow supervised observation and participation appropriate to the student’s training stage; the existence of a service does not guarantee each student a specific procedure count.

The clinical-data page labels its disclosure as 2025. The visible table reports 85% bed occupancy, 434 daily inpatients, 13,201 monthly inpatients and 1,58,412 yearly inpatients. It also shows 1,080 daily and 32,851 monthly outpatients. These figures use the source’s labels; the page does not explain whether the inpatient totals represent admissions, patient-days or another counting method.

Departmental presentations identify paediatric intensive care, neonatal care, a human milk bank and district early-intervention services. The paediatrics material also describes a sensory-integration therapeutic park inaugurated on 7 December 2022. These are dated departmental disclosures, not a current audit of staffing, equipment uptime or daily availability.

The citizen charter addresses understandable communication, informed consent, information about medicines and procedures, access to clinical records and explanation of hospital rules. Students entering wards should follow the department’s supervision, confidentiality and infection-prevention requirements rather than treating patient contact as unrestricted practice.

Current sanctioned bed totals, bed-by-specialty allocation and a current daily OPD average were not established from the retrieved disclosures. No estimate is substituted.
