"A very fine and healthy museum. I wish other cities had something like this.
"The words of Jawaharlal Nehru displayed prominently at the entrance welcome you into the museum.
Those words, and the museum too, can be dated back to 50 years. Started in 1948, it remains the same till today - no additions, no subtractions, no updating and no further divisions.
It still dons the same look of the late 40s. The museum, which almost is as old as India, imitates the nation quite closely in every respect.
It reflects the lack of dedication, commitment, progress and improvement, and concepts like poverty and ignorance.
The museum is divided into two sections by two huge halls. One hall is related to nutrition, health (school and industrial), illnesses like cancer, malaria
, TB and leprosy, anatomy, immunization, etc., the second hall is completely dedicated to Motherhood and Childbirth.
A series of wooden boards giving all the necessary details about how to maintain and improve health, photographs of various medical discoverers and distinguished visitors at the museum and so on are displayed at all strategic places.
Museum has a library, conducts lectures and play film shows. Films are shown on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
