development, economic growth and technological development.

skills of adaptation and sensitivity to core human values. The insitute provides an environment of high
academic ambience to mould young minds and make them capable of welcoming the challenges of the future
with vigour.
We firmly believe in excellence and discipline which is not an act but a habit.

Without paramedics, the entire health system is out of gear and is almost non functionary. The major areas of work for the paramedics are evaluation of general incident, spinal and fracture injury management, management of burns, ability to work in a critical care setting. To become a successful nursing the person should possess physical and mental strength to work in rotational shifts. They should have the presence of mind to take the right decision during a critical situation. The increasing demand for nurses has opened lucrative opportunity for the young emerging profession. Here in Ganga Institute of Heath Sciences we provide good clinical exposure in operation theatre, ICUs, step down ICUs, skin bank, bone bank. The Ganga Hospital maintains the standard of NABH, symposium, conferences is often conducted in the hospital which keeps benefiting medical and nursing staffs..

The recent development in technology was enhanced by education. Employment in the contemporary world is based on education. Employees must possess the required skills that correspond to the current technology to perform their tasks. In Ganga Hospital we provide facilities for nurses to connect their mobiles to ventilator and cardiac monitors thereby the alarm reaches the nurses on time and take immediate action. Students must be equipped with skills to cope with the advancing technology in medical sciences as education has become a basic principle to measure the labour market on the basis of essential skills.. Ganga College Of Nursings always focuses on this and updates based on the current trends. The students work with the staff members in the hospital they are taught then and there they are free to clarify doubts this makes education more productive here.
Mrs. Nirmala Rajasabapathy
