Hyderabad, April 4 (RAHNUMA): Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla on Saturday underlined the growing importance of trauma medicine in view of the increasing number of accidents and emergency situations.
He was speaking as the chief guest at a national conference on “Trauma & Conflict Medicine” organised by the Society of Acute Care, Trauma & Emergency Medicine (SACTEM) Foundation in association with Medicover Hospitals at the Blue Planet Auditorium in Gachibowli.
The Governor observed that in life-threatening situations, the prompt decision-making and technical expertise of doctors play a decisive role in saving lives.
“In such critical moments, the dedication of medical professionals becomes the most powerful instrument,” he said.
Noting that Hyderabad has earned global recognition not only in the field of information technology but also for providing super-speciality healthcare at affordable costs, he described the conference as a significant milestone in the medical field.
The conference aims to train and equip medical professionals to effectively handle complex emergency situations, particularly in the domains of trauma and conflict medicine. Experts from across India and abroad participated in the event, facilitating knowledge exchange that could lead to innovations in the healthcare sector, he said.
