“The idea behind this program was to impart knowhow on the best technical and procedural skills to tackle complex cardiac problems so that these could be adopted while treating cardiac patients. We were fortunate to have Dr. Gambhir, himself an icon in the realm of clinical and interventional cardiology, for the first time in our midst in Bhubaneswar. We are certain that the assembled audience of eminent doctors immensely benefited from the programme. Plans are underway to organize similar demonstrational programs in future as well” said Adm (Retd) Salil Kr. Mohanty.
Speaking on the occasion Dr. D. S. Gambhir said, “The Super-specialty Cardiac Unit in AMRI Hospitals, Bhubaneswar is one of the best I have seen in Indian hospitals. They are equipped to handle even the most critical cardiac problems with their cutting-edge technology. The team of doctors here is also highly able and I immensely enjoyed the discourse today. I wish to come back more often to AMRI in future as well.”
The discussion also emphasized on the new approaches and operative techniques for heart-attack diabetes and heart disease burden. Dr. Satyanarayan Routray and Dr. H. N. Mishra, senior cardiologists delivered lecture on newer medicines and treatment of coronary artery disease.
