The Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) has banned every single surgical division from directing malignancy surgeries without steering them through "tumor board."

"The offices have been doing growth surgeries at SKIMS since 1980s," he inquired. He said the move would prompt to bedlam, debilitate senior personnel at SKIMS and make superfluous bothers for hapless disease patients.

Sources said the move has been questioned by all heads and workforce of the super fortes and they have raised worries that onco surgeries treatment is a piece of the educational programs of super claim to fame courses like MCH and this specific action was done according to the MCI standards.

"The new arrangement was loaded with restorative board of India venturing in and ceasing the super sociality courses," said a specialist. "It additionally implies that the MCH understudies in their claims to fame will be requested that get preparing from these few onco specialists. The specialists who are working in different super sociality office are holding the most elevated degrees of the land like DNB and MCH and don't require additionally preparing in the courses," said the specialist.
