Came for the SICOT Ganga fellowship. Am very grateful to Dr.Rajasekaran for providing me the opportunity to observe the excellent work being done in Ganga Hospital. Can condently say that I have picked up information that can help my patients and more importantly, have the awareness of how to approach complicated cases, this set up required and now have an idea of the strength and limitation of myself and my hospital.


I had the rare privilege of observing and occasionally assisting in a wide range of Spine and Arthroplasty cases. The commitment of both the consultants and fellows to patient care is quite commendable. So much emphasis is placed on good outcome and adherence to international best practice in medical care. I remain eternally grateful to Prof.S.Rajasekaran (immediate post President of SICOT) for granting me this fellowship to have this experience. The knowledge acquired will impact my practice positively.


I discovered Ganga Hospital on the website of SICOT and I see that their department of orthopaedics is specialised in trauma. So, I decided to come and do my fellowship. My stay is very useful and was very happy to all to think and see and learn especially the care of non union fractures, bone loss, bone tumour and great deformity. All this will help me to demonstrate my practice.
