RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
Research and innovation along with contributing to the community is a necessity. It enables us to come up with new ideas which help us get rid of the stereotypic learning methods.
Research is defined as the "systematic and sustained effort to enhance the acquisition of knowledge." The main goal of Institute of Health Sciences is to promote research within the community. Teaching and learning are the main pillars of our institution, and it is through these that we help students to cultivate a lifelong passion for learning.
Research and innovation are two of the most important terms which exist nowadays in world. These terms are related with each other and these terms are known as the basis of scientific and medical advancements. The institute is doing lots of hard work to build a strong relation between these two main terms- research and innovation. So, let's have a look at some of the significant contribution made by institute in promoting these two terms.
