This Department was
initially called Computer Centre and then Division of Biostatistics and
Medical Informatics and started in the year 1995 as an independent
unit. It was upgraded as the full Department in the year 2005. The
Department provides all biostatistics and computer related services.
All kinds of biostatistical consultation
from the planning stage of the analysis of data are provided to the
faculty for research and post-graduate theses.

Among many firsts achieved by the Department are computerization of
payroll (1987), MEDLARS (1991), e-mail (1992) and UCMS Homepage on
the web (1996). An enormous database of more than 30 health
indicators containing information for each state and
age/gender/urban-rural areas since the year 1971 is among the major
achievements.
|
The thrust areas of research are health indicators and
health databases. Projects funded by agencies such as WHO, the World
Bank and UNAIDS have been conducted. The department prepared a full
book on ‘11 Health Questions about the 11 SEAR Countries’, and chapters
for biregional report of WHO, both of which
are very significant achievement. Many other books have been written
including one published in the US with gratifying international
reviews. More than 200 publications have appeared despite department's
emphatic no to accept authorship in the work where computation help was
provided.
Networking system
installed with 100 Mbps leased line of National Knowledge Network(NKN) in all the departments of college and
the hospital. The department is substantially contributing to providing
e-journals access to the faculty and striving for e-governance in the
college.
