TRANSCRIPT OF MESSAGE

VICE-PRESIDENT OF INDIA

MESSAGE

I am happy to know that the Society of Emergency Medicine India (SEMI), is organizing the 10th Asian Conference of Emergency Medicine ACEM 2019 from November 7 -10, 2019 at The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, Delhi.

Emergency Care and Emergency Medicine play a vital role in the health care system. The initial management and stabilization of a patient in need of emergency care is truly a specialty on its own and requires intensive training and resources. Very often, the availability of quality emergency care makes the difference between life and death.

I am sure, being one of the largest professional societies of Emergency Medicine, SEMI would play an important role in making the emergency care in our country more robust and professionally competent.

I am happy to note that several leading Emergency Care professionals of India and abroad would be participating in the conference and will deliberate and discuss various facets of this emerging field of Medicine.

I extend my greetings and congratulations to the organizers and the participants and wish the event all success.

(M. Venkaiah Naidu)

Society for Emergency Medicine India (SEMI) has successfully launched the first set of National Basic Life Support (NBLS) courses on 28th October 2018, in Hyderabad city.

This great launch was assisted by emergency medicine departments of multiple hospitals in Hyderabad. Teams of life-support instructors conducted NBLS sessions for non-healthcare personnel at multiple locations, and trained more than 1500 people in just 2 weeks. NBLS is part of SEMI initiative to bring awareness in common public about emergency conditions and to train them to identify, act immediately before reaching to emergency experts/hospitals.

SEMI recommends all the emergency medicine departments in the country to conduct NBLS uniformly and periodically to build the community trust in the emergency care.
