The department is fully equipped and strives to provide quality care and perioperative anaesthesia services to the patients admitted for various surgeries to make their journey through various procedures comfortable.

The Medical College and Hospital being a tertiary care centre, the department caters to a big percentage of high risk patients referred from various adjoining districts and talukas .

The department has adequate staff as per MCI norms for undergraduate course i.e 1 Professor,3 Associate Professor ,4 Assisstant Professor,and Senior and Junior Residents.

• Aim to excel in all spheres of anaesthesia. That is clinical anaesthesia, teaching development and research.
• To provide outstanding comprehensive, patient centered perioperative clinical services that dramatically improve the quality of care and patient outcomes across the surgical continuum.
• To provide the best in clinical care, education and research, in an academic environment.
• To train high quality health care anaesthesiologists to carry out creative and innovative research to address current and emerging anaesthesia and critical care challenges.

The Department is to be a recognized authority in the evaluation and treatment of patients requiring perioperative medical care, including General Anesthesia, Trauma Anesthesia, Obstetric Anesthesia, , Pediatric Anesthesia, Regional anesthesia, , Critical Care and Pain Management. To provide superior education for residents and students in the medical discipline and practice of Anesthesiology and its related specialties.

In addition, we recognize that we must be able to adapt, grow, and respond to rapid changes in health care if we are going to be able to carry out our mission. Maintaining the status quo will not be sufficient. Instead, we need to effect continuous improvement in the quality, safety, and scope of care that we provide in order to increase the importance and value of our abilities and services to our patients their families, and to the medical college.
