Welcome to Kolkata - Criticare 2013

Dear Colleagues,

It is our privilege to invite you to Kolkata the “cultural” capital of India for our annual conference. Critical Care in India has “come of age” the theme of Pune congress in 2012. With the coming of age comes maturity and with that comes responsibility and accountability , an appropriate follow up theme for Kolkata congress. Accountable,Accessible and Affordable Care has been selected as the theme for Kolkata congress , as the members of the organizing committee thought these to be the principal ingredients of critical care delivery mostly needed in our country . As we perceive , success of any scientific congress should be judged by the quality of the scientific content, the depth and breadth of the subject areas covered and choice of international and national faculties . Clinically focussed deliberations are more appreciated by most of our delegates who are predominantly from non research background. On the other hand ,in order to bring critical care in India at par with the international standards, original works, research oriented and basic science oriented topics are equally important and a balanced scientific program should be made . We can assure you of this under the leadership of Dr. Narenra Rungta , our president during the congress and chairman of national scientific committee 2013, who will be supported by national and local scientific committee members.

Organisational aspects of congress is equally important and a close collaborative work between the event managers and local working committee will ensure smooth functioning of various organizational departments who will take care of the delegates and ensure a comfortable stay .

We can ensure you an enjoyable stay with the family , with many tours of Kolkata and surrounding (Darjeeling,sunderbans) arranged by our event manager, enjoy the science city itself , famous Bengal rasagolla and misti doi and a colorful cultural program . We are sure you will have a productive and quality time during the conference.
