I thank all the faculty members, students, and staff of VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital, a premier Central Government teaching hospital, for their commitment to serving the healthcare needs of the community with professionalism, compassion and dedication.

 

At Safdarjung Hospital, the patient remains at the centre of everything we do. Our endeavour is to ensure that every individual seeking care receives timely, safe, equitable and quality healthcare, while being treated with dignity, empathy and respect. As a tertiary care institution catering to patients with diverse and complex healthcare needs, we recognise that excellence in patient care requires not only clinical expertise, but also efficient systems, seamless coordination and a strong culture of accountability.

All laboratories are NABL accredited and a full range of lab as well as Radiological diagnostic services available.

As Medical Superintendent, my focus is to facilitate the smooth and effective functioning of hospital services and to continuously strengthen systems that contribute to better patient outcomes and an improved patient experience. The adoption of modern technologies and strengthening of hospital processes will continue to remain important components of our efforts towards delivering efficient and patient-friendly healthcare services.

 

Being closely integrated with Vardhman Mahavir Medical College, our academic and healthcare teams work together to ensure that the institution continues to contribute meaningfully to the development of competent, ethical and compassionate healthcare   professionals.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the entire Safdarjung Hospital fraternity for their unwavering commitment and service. Our collective endeavour towards accessible, affordable and quality healthcare is also a contribution to building a healthier, stronger and more productive society—an essential foundation for realising the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047 and in achieving the goals of sustainable development in the field of healthcare.

Together, let us continue to uphold the highest ideals of public service and strive to make every interaction with our institution a reflection of care, competence and compassion.
