A three-day 28th annual conference of the North Eastern Branch of Association of Otolaryngolists of India (NEBAOICON) today got underway here in the Capital Convention Centre.
During the three days, scientific session would be organised wherein guest faculties including Padmashree Prof Emeritus Dr M V Kritane from Mumbai, Prof Dr Ashok from Bangalore and Dr Kuddush Ahmed from Guwahati would speak on a varies range of subjects.
"Medical Science is a dynamic field whereby, better facilities and access to health care services are being evolved everyday," said Nagaland Minister for Health and Family Welfare, P Longon, while gracing the inaugural session as chief guest.
"The North East region in many aspects is lagging behind in accessing health facilities, specially in the rural areas," Longon said.
This, he said, has become a problem for the state governments and such conferences should coordinate and extend help in areas of technology sharing, medical and allied health education.
Longon also hoped the conference would deliberate on the capacity building of human resources, besides providing low cost and affordable medical services.
