Welcome! Laparoscopic Training Batch December 2020 to World Laparoscopy Hospital
Laparoscopic Training
I extend a warm welcome to the December 2020 batch of the surgeons and gynecologists who have joined World Laparoscopy Hospital in spite of COVID-19 and made it to India’s best known Institute of Minimal Access Surgery. This batch will be the special one to become a part of the World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons.
I am very happy that most of you have patiently completed the online admission process to connect yourself to the institute’s firm devotion to truth. I am so excited to see the best and the brightest doctor in India.
I think none of us will have lived through a crisis like this and there are now fundamental changes to our daily lives, the way we study, communicate, work and socialize. The present crisis may change us in multiple ways and there could be institutional challenges on a scale we have never known, but there will always be innovations and fresh ideas which bring assuring gains in the future.
Though normal academic activities have suffered owing to the Covid-19 situation, we tried our best not to obstruct our pursuit of teaching and research. The pandemic has forced us to rethink the way we have been working. Our fellow colleagues have successfully adapted to new innovative digital aids to ensure quality teaching and learning process. My colleagues have been incredibly creative to formulate and adapt education and work to a new format.
I strongly encourage you to connect using the many technology options made available to you. I am also aware that many of us are struggling due to technological challenges. This will require us to make significant changes in the ways in which we operate, so as to become much more flexible in how we teach, research, and administer the institute.
So, despite all odds, I am very confident that the things that have made World Laparoscopy Hospital prosper will remain key strengths in the future. Please remember, nothing is more important than the health, well-being, and safety of the surgeon community. Please take care of yourself, your family, and your loved ones during this stressful time.
Best wishes
Dr. R.K. Mishra
