The dress code for work is formal. Suits and ties are not
worn. Men generally wear short-sleeved shirts, long trousers,
and sandals or shoes. Women appear more comfortable in dresses
with sleeves, or modest blouses and long skirts or trousers.
Punjabi pants and tunics (salwar kameez, or churidar) or
sarees with sandals are also appropriate. Clean, neat and
tidy dressing when visiting the clinical areas is essential.
Shorts, T-shirts, or other revealing garments are not acceptable.
White coats are not worn by doctors or medical students.
Cotton garments are generally more comfortable than synthetics.
South India is very hot in summer and only slightly cooler
in winter . You will need a light jacket or sweater only
occasionally.
Fabric shops and tailoring establishments abound, and clothes
can be cut and stitched to size quickly at reasonable cost.
Shoes and sandals are quite inexpensive and can be purchased
ready made or on order.
