Biography

I am Dr. Gargi Ghosh MBBS, MD Microbiology working at Indore. I did my MBBS from MGMMC Indore (1995) and MD Microbiology from MGMMC Navi Mumbai in 2013. Apart from routine Microbiological work, my special areas of interest are Molecular biology and hospital infection control. Infectious diseases prevention and control, especially nosocomial infections prevention would be my first priority. Foremost step towards this is to build up a team by training and incorporating the protocols religiously. I believe in continuous upgradation in knowledge and skills, so keen in attending CMEs, Workshops and Conference presentations. These would help in self and organizational growth.

My Mantra
