Emergency Medicine in Pakistan is now emerging reality. Due to the struggle of plenty of physician’s it has gained enough momentum that generally physicians and medical students have started noticing its presence. The second meeting of Northern chapter of society of emergency physicians is an important step in the history.
Society of emergency physician’s (SEPP) is an integral part of emergency physicians. Society discuss and formulate the required plan into the future after extensive work and present it to local authorities, colleges, institutions and other interested entities. Society also present guidelines, leads academic reforms and hold key meetings to disseminate the important information in non-binding way.
The second chapter meeting is going to be a full day event and is mostly an academic activity. It will be a good opportunity for the emergency physicians to come closer, discuss issues and see the way forward in Pakistan. Its sessions will also include hands on stations to give emergency physicians a taste of what to expect in different exams all over the world. It will give them this message that the emergency care is becoming more of an art of communication rather than a mere science of few pharmaceutical agents.
Shifa International as always is in the forefront of this struggle. The consultants of the Emergency Department are leading the effort and creating this momentum. The team of the trainees and the medical officers work in very cohesive manner to deliver the training in best manner. With the interest of the community in heart and zeal to improve the emergency care in Pakistan we are all going headway meeting the challenge.
We call on to the physicians community to support their effort and be our strength. A strong emergency care means an overall better care.
Looking forward to seeing you in the chapter meeting this month.
