Ganga Hospital - Johnson & Johnson Visiting Professorship

 

A new chapter in our continuing efforts for the promotion of Hand and Microsurgery was made in the year 2005 by the starting of the Visiting Professorship programme. It is a joint effort of the Dept of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery and the Ethicon division of Johnson & Johnson. A hand surgeon of international repute is invited to spend a week in the department. The visiting professor lectures and takes part in all the academic and clinical activities of the department. This interaction results in cross fertilization of ideas for the benefit of patients and builds bridges between departments, hand surgery communities and nations
