I would like to welcome all our plastic surgery colleagues to the Manchester of India, the City of Ludhiana. A city that is a proud home to two of the oldest and amongst the most prestigious medical colleges of the state of Punjab which are active in shaping the ever changing generation of Plastic Surgeons via their M.Ch programmes in company of Goliaths’ like PGIMER Chandigarh in their vicinty.
Plastic surgery as a specialty has been undergoing paradigm shifts every decade, from being just surgeons who would correct deformities of birth, trauma, tumor and burns to being Writers, Travel Enthusiasts, Torch bearers to social change and Artists with Exceptional Surgical Skills.
We as Plastic Surgeons innovate and improvise continuously till we achieve the desired outcomes as it is us that all specialties look up to. For the patients we are care givers whose skills imparts self confidence in them and to our colleagues we are a problem solving specialty.
On this note if would request all our collegues practicing in the states of Punjab, J n K, Himachal Pradesh, Harayana and Chandigarh to join our organization, North Zone Association of Plastic Surgeons (NZAPS) and present their skills and work at our annual conferences.
