Summary:Medical Audit of hospital records has been a major component of quality of care assessment1. The aim of the present Medical audit is to identify the areas for improvement and make necessary changes to provide a better quality medical care to the patients in tertiary care hospital like Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, India.
