Training in Gyne-Endoscopic Surgery

	In the early years of the existence of the college, there was no separate department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and only 12 beds under the charge of a part time professor and a resident obstetric surgeon were assigned to this speciality. The students received the major part of their hospital training in Madras. This arrangement continued for more than a decade, but as great need for a self contained department was felt, the present Queen Mary's Hospital was built and inaugurated in 1932 by Sir Malcom Halley, then Governor of the United Province of Oudh. Initially the hospital had 56 beds including 6 cots for the newborn babies.

The number of bed was increased to 100 in 1948 and further increased to 120 in 1950. Since 1954, the hospital has been completely self-sufficient in the training of undergraduate students. In 1959 an extension for the Outpatients' Department was built.

Further expansions took place in the 1960s and 1970s. Many more units have been opened e.g. the Post Partum Unit, Minor Operation Theatre, Antenatal Care Unit, Postnatal Care Unit, Neonatology Unit and Emergency Operation Theatre. During the last 3 years the building has been renovated. The operation theatre complexes and labor room have also been renovated and equipped with sophisticated instruments and fetal monitoring equipment.

There are 9 seats annually for the MD course and 10 + 2 (from PMS) for the DGO course.
