Difference between super specialty and multi-specialty are as follows:

• A super-specialty means it is related to only a particular thing.

• A multi-specialty means it is related to more than one aspect.

• For example, Super specialty hospitals offer treatment for a particular disease.

• Multispeciality hospitals offer treatment for multiple diseases.

• Super-specialty hospitals have only two or three major departments with tertiary care facilities.

• Multispeciality hospitals deals with basic medical, and surgical, etc. They will provide secondary care services also.

a multispeciality --hospital--may have post graduate disciplined doctors as MD medicine, MD dermatology, MS surgery

A superspeciality hospitals may have doctors with degrees as in DM neurology, McH urology, DM gastroenterology,McH neurosurgery as in superspecialists--who have education higher than a MD/MS. They have micro specialised in a organ system as such so are more experts for diseases system wise as in ...
... gastroenterology(stomach and intestine) system, nervous system as in DM neurology, diseases of diabetes etc as in DM endocrinology.

Well, multi means many. It means that they offer more than two special treatments in their hospitals.They have high quality doctors of the ranks of DM .In many countries, “multi specialty hospitals” exist.

But when we talk about the super speciality ones , there is somewhat confusion. My understanding thus far had been that specialties such as Neuro surgery, Plastic surgery, Cardio-thoracic surgery as well as others are essentially “SUB” specialties of General surgery (surgery in general). But then,how did they metamorphose into “SUPER” specialties?

The answer perhaps, can be traced back to around the time the large private sector hospitals made their appearance. As newer and newer sub specialties emerged and got established, some hospitals acquired the services of specialists from these sub-specialties and came to be called as “super speciality hospitals” . Thereafter, other smaller hospitals and institutions followed suit.

The reason for preferring the term “super” over “sub” appears to be for marketing reasons. The term “Super” is certainly more attractive than “sub” from a business point of view. The word “sub” is commonly equated by the lay public as something “inferior” or below par. For example, ‘sub standard’, ‘sub inspector’, ‘sub junior’ and so on.

Moreover, by this time, the public had been exposed to things “super”- such as, “super stars”, “superman”, “super markets”, and “super bazaars” etc! In this scenario, these hospitals would have hardly preferred to claim that they were providing “sub specialty” services! Thus, the term “super” appears to have entered insidiously and got firmly established. Obviously, no one else bothered to point out the inaccuracy. Everyone took it in their stride. Why would anyone object if someone called them “super”?

Now some may feel why this should bother anyone? As a business tactic I concede, it is perfectly harmless. But this has led the students in some countries to forget that the so-called “super” specialties are in reality “sub” specialties of general surgery. Hospitals and even universities innocently follow this. All one has to do is to connect to the internet and type “super specialty courses offered by universities” and hit ‘Enter’. Are there any benefits for the students in all this except perhaps that prospect of joining a “super” specialty course certainly appears to inflate their egos more than really necessary!
