The Indian Association of Day Surgery

The Conference deliberations highlighted the problems and concerns of Public hospitals, which have to be addressed to popularize One-Day surgery.

Mumbai is the commercial capital of India, it is also a city known for medical advancements and update.
We live in a global village, a constant strife has become a part of life in trying to keep up with the recent advances and development.
A balance between the economics and top quality, safe medical care, is what every individual strives for.
In organizing the Fourth National Conference of Day Surgery, we have taking another step in the history of this concept. We welcome you to be a part of it.
Let us strive to make this conference a success.
