Short History of the Department
The Institute of Pathology is 84 years young and has the wisdom and experience of the old and the energy, enthusiasm and vigor of the young. The Institute was founded in 1934 and was then known as ‘Goschen Institute of Pathology’ and the old timers fondly remember the block that houses the Institute as ‘Goshen Block’. The institute had been named after George Joachim Goschen, II Viscount, who was Governor of Madras from 1924 – 1929 & was the Viceroy of India from 1929 – 1931. The institute was declared open on a Monday on March 26-th, 1934 by His Excellency Sir George Fredrick Stanley on whose name the then Royapuram Medical School stands now as ‘Government Stanley Medical College’. Until then Physicians handled pathology lectures and the academic Pathologists were in charge of patient care and the work in speciality departments was interchangeable. It was only in the year 1936, after the opening of the new Goschen block, the first chair for the speciality was created and Prof.Srinivasulu Naidu became the first HOD of Department of Pathology.
The departments of Medical Jurisprudence and the Pathology functioned together for a short while and later became separate departments when Prof.Srinivasulu Naidu opted to become the HOD of Forensic Medicine and Dr.T.S.Thirumurthy succeeded him as HOD of Pathology Department.
Initially postgraduates of both Pathology and Microbiology were trained in this Institute under the auspices of Madras University, which included M.Sc.Degrees too. It was only in 1966, an exclusive M.D.Pathology degree was instituted in the Department under the instruction of Medical Council of India and a separate postgraduate course has created in Forensic medicine (Medical Jurisprudence) in the year 1974. The institute was upgraded in 1980 and the first chair was designated and upgraded as ‘Director of Institute of Pathology’. Prof.S.Arumugam became the first Director of this institute in 1980 and has been succeeded by seventeen directors so far.
In 1973, the Government sanctioned Electron Microscopy (EM) Laboratory to Government General Hospital and this was allotted to Institute of Pathology in 1978. Scanning electron Microscopy and other sophisticated equipments were added to EM laboratory in 1985. The Institute of Pathology as it stands now provides diagnostic health care to lakhs of patients every year and undertakes teaching to thousands of students every year.
Pathology laboratories headed by the rank of Professors, also function at affiliated institutes such as Institute of Child health, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Government Kasturba Gandhi hospital, Regional ,Institute of Ophthalmology and Institute of Neurology to provide comprehensive and easily accessible healthcare to patients.
The museum of Institute of Pathology holds 1510 specimens. The specimens include neoplastic &nonneoplastic lesions of all organs & tissues and provide excellent learning opportunities for both undergraduates & postgraduates. The specimens are constantly restored, replaced and new specimens are added every year. A rare case is displayed routinely as ‘specimen of the week’ in the institute of Pathology along with description of the lesion and histopathology photographs. Museum exhibits on specific organs are routinely conducted at regular intervals
