Geriatrics for Health Professionals

SeniorIndian.com

 
In India, Geriatrics as a speciality has not advanced as much as in developed countries. Infact, until recently, there was no recognised post-graduate M.D. Course in Geriatrics. Recently, the M.D. in Geriatric medicine has been introduced in the Geriatric Department in the Govt. General Hospital in Chennai (Chennai Medical College) India, which has a 20 bedded Geriatric ward. This was first headed by Prof. V.S.Natarajan who obtained his Geriatric training from U.K. It is now headed by Dr. B. Krishnaswamy.
There is also a full fledged department of Geriatric Surgery in the Govt. General Hospital in Chennai, India.
There are other institutions in India where Physicians and Surgeons have taken a great interest in Geriatric health and efforts are on to establish independent departments in Geriatric Medicine and Surgery.
There is also a post graduate diploma in Geriatric health available from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).  
On this page you will find many links leading to important web-sites concerning Geriatric health and Geriatric societies. We will be providing more links as and when available.
