BCCL Expands Medical Training at Dhanbad Hospital
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) is making strides in enhancing India’s healthcare system by expanding its Diplomate of National Board (DNB) medical training programs at the Central Hospital Dhanbad (CHD). The recent introduction of an Ophthalmology specialization course increases the total number of disciplines offered to five, establishing CHD as the premier DNB training center among Coal India subsidiaries.
DNB Programs Offered at CHD
The Central Hospital Dhanbad now offers a diverse range of DNB programs aimed at cultivating skilled medical professionals. The available courses include:
-
- General Medicine: 4 seats (Post MBBS, 3 years course)
-
- General Surgery: 2 seats (Post MBBS, 3 years course)
-
- Anaesthesia: 2 seats (1 Post MBBS, 3 years course + 1 Post Diploma, 2 years course)
-
- Family Medicine: 2 seats (Post MBBS, Diploma, 2 years course)
-
- Ophthalmology: 2 seats (Post MBBS, Diploma, 2 years course)
The DNB qualification, awarded by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), is recognized as equivalent to MD/MS degrees in India. This ensures that the programs at CHD adhere to the highest standards of medical education, preparing graduates for successful careers in healthcare.
Empowering In-House Talent and the Nation
In a strategic effort to bolster its internal capabilities, CHD has allocated 50% of the DNB seats for doctors from Coal India Limited (CIL) and its subsidiaries. This initiative aims to facilitate the professional growth of in-house talent, allowing them to advance into specialized roles. The remaining 50% of seats are available to candidates from across the country, fostering a competitive and diverse learning environment.
BCCL’s Commitment to Holistic Nation-Building
BCCL’s initiative aligns with its broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals, which focus on healthcare, education, and community development. By investing in advanced medical training, BCCL is not only addressing the energy needs of the nation but also significantly enhancing healthcare services throughout India. According to BCCL’s CMD, Shri Samiran Dutta, “Today, BCCL has taken its Central Hospital Dhanbad to the forefront of leading healthcare institutes in the CIL family, furthering its vision of ensuring holistic healthcare infrastructure and wellness for all.”
