The programme was attended by senior dignitaries including Dr. Parveen Garg, Ex-DGHS Haryana and Member, Haryana Medical Council, along with senior officials from the State Institute of Health and Family Welfare (SIHFW), Panchkula. India continues to face a high burden of road traffic accidents and burn injuries, and while Haryana has shown national leadership in pre-hospital emergency response through Emergency Service 112, strengthening in-hospital trauma and burn care remains a key priority. More than 65 medical officers from across the state participated in the training and received hands-on instruction in early trauma assessment, resuscitation, airway management, haemorrhage control, and initial burn care. The programme included focused lectures, interactive sessions, and practical skill stations. The training concluded with positive feedback from participants, reaffirming PGIMER’s commitment to supporting state and national efforts to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality from trauma and burn injuries.
