Overview
Community medicine is an essential branch of healthcare that emphasizes the health of populations, addressing broader public health issues rather than focusing solely on individual patients. At Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital (NSMCH), this focus is integral to training future medical professionals to effectively tackle public health challenges.
As the first private medical institution in Patna, NSMCH offers a comprehensive curriculum in community medicine, equipping students with the skills to conduct impactful research and implement preventive strategies for enhancing community health. With access to state-of-the-art facilities and a robust educational framework, NSMCH is committed to developing skilled physicians who will actively contribute to the national healthcare system through community-centered medical practices.
