Message
from the President
Dear
Colleagues,
The
past few months have been very eventful for our society. Firstly
a National level workshop and seminar was conducted by Dr. Shekar
with the active participation by surgical society and Rajiv
Gandhi University. Secondly The Millennium Surgeons Day
was celebrated with great enthusiasm. You will find a full report
on this colorful function elsewhere in this bulletin. All these
achievements would not have been possible but for the support
of my colleagues in the executive committee, advice and guidance
by the senior surgeons and of course the active involvement
of the members. We have much more to do during the next few
months, the most important of which is the C.M.E. programme.
Preparations are already a foot and I request all of you to
help us in organizing this programme which should be remembered
as one of the best. The bulletin is a vital vehicle of communication
amongst the members and I hope the information provided will
be useful.
With
best wishes
Dr. Gopinath
