Dr D K Gupta It was good meeting . We

Dr Santosh jena Excellent

Dr Subrata Halder Great Job keep it up
Dr Subhash Maurya In my
opinion OP has become epidemic so more concentration is
needed for treatment . Treatment cost should be brought
down so that many can get benefits
Dr A K Jain Nice arrangement. Care taken
by ABBOTT is excellent
Dr Manoij Garg Current
knowledge of Treatment strategy updated
Dr Ashok Arora Should be less data, more
discussion
Dr S B Solanki An entire
programme would add value along with a session for
critical case discussions. Faculty as well as delegate may
help in interactions and developing strategies in grey
area
Dr Sanjay Dhawan This initiative is excellent.
More such programs clears many doubts which are imp and
some information really reverses your concepts which you
had in your mind before this course . IT WAS REALLY VERY
INFORMATIVE
Dr Amit Singh DXA concept

Dr Ritesh Kumar This is good programme .

mutidisiplinary  specialities must also be exposed. I
as chest phy self financed entire program. COPD has
Osteoporosis as co morbidityKnowingly and unknowingly
asthma and COP is on rise, Rapid urbanisation, increased
smoking amongst youngsters , corporate culture, sleep
disturbances, associated COPD, OSA, DM, childhood asthma ,
lung diseases , autoimmune diseases are on rise so other
speciality like chest, rheumatology must also be exposed
to such courses
