Betty Cowan Research and Innovation Centre

BCRIC was established in November 2007 as a central biomedical research facility for Christian Medical College and Hospital. The R&D Lab was completed in March 2010. The team works on biomedical research at the RNA/DNA, gene and protein levels.

The center was formed based on a vision for a Centre of Excellence where biomedical research ideas/activities and innovative approaches could be included and encouraged amongst the CMCH faculty and students. The center was started by a generous educational grant from Canadian- Vellore Ludhiana Committee (Canada) and Friends of Ludhiana (UK). The lab is 19’ 7” by 17’ 2” (336.2 square feet) in size. The center has a separate space as a conference room to conduct meetings and training sessions. The whole center is about 2,020 square feet.

Our main focus is in the field of Cancer Biology. BCRIC is a Centre of Biomedical Molecular Research with facilities for Quantitative Real-time PCR (QPCR). We have 25 years of experience with this technology on RNA and DNA-based research. We have an extensive training module to help faculty, students and those in the industry who would like to understand QPCR and all the latest developments. We are also pioneers in introducing Hyperspectral Imaging in Biomedical Applications in India. We use integrated biology via clinical bioinformatics to answer questions on upstream metabolic breakdown before the onset of cancer. All our R&D projects are translatable from bench to bedside and incorporate low-cost diagnostic approaches.

Bilga Outreach

The Bilga General Hospital traces its origins back to a meeting in the village held on 28 December 1997, when Dr Jagjit Sanghera, a native of Bilga, but by now a Birmingham General Practitioner, called a meeting to discuss the possibilities of building and opening a hospital to serve the village’s needs. There was already a very poor public hospital in the village, built by the Indian Medical Service of the British Raj in the 1930s, but it had long outlived its usefulness and a modern and clean hospital was desperately needed.

The vision for BGH is to provide primary and secondary level care for Bilga and forty-four villages and small towns in the surrounding area on the north bank the River Sutlej. It started out providing a twenty-four hour accident and emergency service, a diagnostic centre, operating theatres, an eye department, maternity and childcare facilities, a mortuary service, as well as access to tertiary care in Jalandhar and Ludhiana. Over the years, the hospital has grown to provide better healthcare facilities.

The mission, from the moment of its foundation, is to establish effective primary and secondary care for the people of Bilga and its surrounding area and to develop other areas of activity which included health education, preventative medicine, based on need and not on gender, creed, race, nationality of political conviction. The hospital remains a great success and a beacon of healthcare in the area.

Community Medicine

The first ever department of Social and Preventive Medicine ( now  Community Medicine) in the developing world was founded by Dr. Carl E Taylor in 1952. With the focus on providing health benefits according to measurable need rather than on the basis of political or economic status, concentrating on those with the greatest problems.

The Narangwal Rural Health Research Project from 1960 to 1975, provided breakthrough understandings in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood pneumonia, neonatal tetanus, getting medical care to the villages, synergism of malnutrition and child mortality, understanding childhood diarrheal treatment and community empowerment for just and lasting health solutions. The department’s first flagship project was the Ludhiana- Harvard- Khanna study on Family Planning.

We are pioneers in the community orientation of the MBBS students.  The faculty tries to expand the values, attitude and ethical orientation of the students to have a commitment to service of those in greatest need.

Beyond community work, we are also involved in research and education. The Department is also the recipient of various research grants and sponsored clinical trials.  The Rural Stroke Registry since 2015 covering 146 villages in 2 blocks has provided new insights on the burden of stroke and NCDs in rural Punjab. The Department has 4 postgraduate residents a year since 2012.  The Department is the nodal center for IGNOU course for Post Graduate Diploma in Geriatric Medicine and also provides faculty for the Post Graduate Diploma in Maternal and Child Health.
