The Annual congregation of highly skilled professionals like surgeons is taking place at historically rich place of Bagalkot. Significantly, Bagalkot is going to be the host for this prestigious Annual State Surgeons Conference for the first time.
I am sure the deliberations slated here will address issues pertaining to health care delivery to the patients and also address issues the surgical community itself faces in fast changing health sector.
Health care delivery till this time was more focused on giving primary health care more often and aimed at giving better treatment to the patient. All advances including technological ones were rightly patient centric and extended to quality care of the patient. However, that left behind the health professional unconcerned. With changing scenario, there is slight shift in focus to tertiary health care and thus establishment of small/medium health enterprises across the state.
The realization of relevance of health care delivery in overall progress of the country has set the stage for acute change.
Looking for opportunities to change, early technological and entrepreneurial adopters along with academic updating will take the surgical community ahead.
Wishing the 28th Annual Conference of Karnataka State Chapter of ASI every success,
Dr. Sharad M. Tanga
Chairman elect.
