In an effort to bring together experts and practitioners to discuss the latest advancements in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Army Hospital (R & R) Delhi Cantt is hosting a significant national-level conference and practical training workshop.
The inauguration of this three-day event (Sept 22-24) was done by Lt Gen Daljit Singh, the Director General of Armed Forces Medical Services. The primary objective of this gathering is to explore recent breakthroughs in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, covering various specialized areas such as Minimally Invasive Surgery, Onco-gynaecology, Fetal Medicine, and Assisted Reproductive Techniques.
In its role as a premier healthcare institution in India, the department is also focusing on addressing areas with limited guidance to ensure the best possible healthcare for women across the nation.
