Inaugurating the three-day, 11th State annual conference of AOI here on Friday, Dr. Natarajan said that under the banner of ‘Vazhvoli thittam,’ ENT camps were conducted for school students periodically at K. A. P. Viswantham Government Medical College Hospital here and more such programmes would be held in future. Organising president V. Navaneethakrishnan pleaded for starting an ENT theatre at the Government Hospital here. Releasing the souvenir, veteran surgeon and former AOI president S.

K. Ramalingam, the Founder-Chairman of KKR ENT Hospital and Research Institute, Chennai. He inaugurated the science exhibition with over 30 stalls displaying medical equipment and surgical instruments. After launching the Family Service Scheme (FSS) for ENT surgeons, the vice-president of Tamil Nadu Medical Council M. S.
