The event saw seminar conducted digitally by Prof. (Dr.) Suchanda Bhattacharjee (Neurosurgeon, NIMS), who graced the attendees with her learned insights in the field of interventional neurosurgery. Dr. Sambuddha Dhar also presented his thought on the topic of Digital Subtraction Angiography followed by Dr. Hemant’s insights on the niche. This was an especially deserved acknowledgement of the contributions of Dr. Dhar, who had to face many hurdles while starting the first Neurosurgery department in the region. From starting out without an established set-up, to setting up a full-fledged department at SMCH, the journey for him has been truly remarkable.
