Dear friends,
The AIIMS has always taken a lead in all fronts of medical sciences, be
it education, research and patient care. The conferences organized in
this Institute is a way to share the innovative and novel ideas in
medicine with the medical fraternity within and outside India, and
promote them for ever wider use to mankind.
Recently, a disturbing trend of rising litigation & violence against
health professionals is noted all over India. This is perhaps inevitable
in the emerging social milieu of commercialization of health coupled
with growing public awareness, and sometimes desperation. Further more
legislation and judicial interventions have provided impetus to movement
for enforcement of consumer rights.
The patients have started asserting for quality care. And whenever the
treatment and outcome fall short of their perception or expectation,
allegation of negligence and deficiency is filed against the provider.
There is an urgent need for the Health professionals to realize and
confront the emerging challenges of litigation & violence, keeping in
view the best interest of the patients and the society at large.
This Conference is an effort to enlighten the health care professionals
about the ways and means to reduce the risk of litigation and violence.
I, on behalf of the organizing committee, looking forward for your
active participation.
