About the Department
The Department of Amraz-e-Jild wa Zohrawiya was bifurcated from the Department of Moalijat as a super specialty in 2006 under the 11th Five Year Plan of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, and practically came into existence in 2011. The primary objective behind establishing the Department as an independent specialty was to promote comprehensive learning, advanced clinical training, and in-depth understanding of dermatological, cosmetological and venereal diseases in the light of Unani medicine, thereby contributing to the development of skilled healthcare professionals capable of addressing the increasing burden of skin diseases, sexually transmitted disorders, cosmetological concerns, and lifestyle-related dermatological conditions in the Indian subcontinent.
Amraz-e-Jild wa Zohrawiya is an important branch of Unani medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and management of diseases related to skin, hair, nails, and venereal disorders through classical Unani principles integrated with contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The Department emphasizes holistic patient care, evidence-based practice, and the preservation of the rich therapeutic heritage of Unani medicine while adapting it to present-day healthcare needs.
The Department is envisioned as a centre of academic excellence and advanced patient care in the field of Unani dermatology and venereology. It is equipped with experienced faculty members having expertise in teaching, clinical practice, and research, supported by well-developed infrastructure and specialized clinical facilities.

The Skill Lab provides hands-on training in various dermatological and cosmetological procedures, clinical examination techniques, diagnostic methods, and patient management skills. The laboratory plays a pivotal role in strengthening practical learning, clinical proficiency, and professional development in the field of dermatology and venereology.
