The programme this project is working on is networking in order to
establish a communicable way of staying in touch and spreading the
light of medical technology beyond the promises of each college.
The project also understands the needs of present era and proves
to give equally opportunity of leaping forward by giving grants
and endowments to deserving students so that the obstacle of money
doesn’t become an impediment in their way of accomplishment.
Students will be facilitated by making smooth their journey
through the evidently intricate path of medical education. Agreed
projects and joint degree programs have been taken the shape of
reality after much awaited demands of the medical students and
teachers that can now make the growth in the world of education
promising. Permanent secretariats have been elected. A webpage has
been launched making it easy for the students to access what this
project has to offer on internet. Focal offices have been selected
in member countries. In Pakistan main focus will be on Punjab
Medical College.
The staggering attainment is the successful bone marrow transplant
by TUMS that has outlined a new approach towards modern science
and proves to an imperative milestone in the way of scientific
medicine.
The team of Punjab Medical College visited Research Centre for
Science and Technology in medicine, Museum of History Medicine,
Museum of Jewellery, Tehran Heart centre, Mellad Tower and
Saadabad complex and brought back a treasure of knowledge
unveiling the interesting aspect of medicine by talking the
spectators back to the era of development of medical sciences
captivating the attention of all the visitors that visit
Tehran. Saadabad complex is actually a complex of palaces of old
kings like white palace and other kings like Ahmad Shah brailvi,
with paintings of Nadir Shah and Ahmad Shah Abdali.
Some achievements of Tehran University are following
Molecular Imaging Lab: - these allow non invasive in vivo cell
specific imaging and improvement of understanding of fundal
molecular pathways.
Parsis Navigation System: - it can form 128 slices on CT scan used
in E.N.T, Brain surgery, orthopedic surgery and dental surgery.
Robolens: - another step in developing an automatic precise way of
surgery is through this automatic robotic camera carrier used in
laparoscopic surgery. Benefits of this robot operated surgery are
that its mobile, sterile, automatically adjusted and the
assistants are not required for the dreary labor of handling the
camera.
The project thus proved to be an important step in spreading the
wave of few implications in the field of medical educations
especially in the field of surgery dealing with operative measures
and manipulations to treat diseases.
