Daijiworld News Network – Mangalore (SS)
Mangalore, Oct 1: The Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Kasturba Medical College, organized a three-day international CME (continuing medical education) programme and workshop on ‘head, neck diseases and skull-base tumours’, here recently.
Kishore Chandra Prasad, head of the department, said the programme attracted more than 200 delegates not only from India, but other countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Malaysia, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Oman.
The workshop discussed latest modalities of treatment related to head, neck, skull base tumours and cancers. Lectures, panel discussions and surgeries were held for the delegates. Surgical demonstrations were telecast live from KMC Hospital, Attavar, to the conference hall at the T.M.A. Pai International Convention Centre, at M.G. Road here.
While patients from Kerala are regular visitors to many hospitals in the city, patients from north India undergo cardiac operations in leading hospitals. People from Kashmir, Nepal and Lakshadweep, underwent heart operations at the A.J. Hospital and Research Centre, last year.
Voluntary organizations conduct medical camps in association with hospitals. Also, many leading medical professionals in the city are being invited by medical bodies in other countries to exchange knowledge. The city therefore has not only surfaced as a destination for medical tourism, but also for continuing medical education (CME) programmes."
