It is a matter of great privilege to welcome you to the website of Ojha Institute of Chest Diseases. In December, 2003 Ojha Institute of Chest Diseases became constitute of Dow University of Health Sciences and since then the OICD has been a dynamic ever-growing institute. The distinction of the OICD is that it is rendering tremendous free of cost services to the patients suffering from chest diseases including tuberculosis, drug resistant tuberculosis and at the same time it is providing educational atmosphere for quality teaching, learning and research through meaningful interaction amongst the renowned and competent faculty members and students/postgraduates with state of the art facilities. Thus OICD is providing a variety of possibilities for growing and learning which will be a foundation for a better future.

The OICD’s online module on tuberculosis is already on its website. The aim of the module is to provide online training to family physicians and medical students in the field of tuberculosis and to provide a ready reference in their hands accessible from any place and at any time.

I wish to welcome all those who are or going to become a part of the OICD either to avail its services or for their academic pursuits.
