We are proud to announce, that, in the recently concluded 9th International Congress on Ambulatory Surgery, organised by the International Association for Ambulatory Surgery (IAAS), on 8th - 11th May, 2010, in Copenhagen, Denmark, India was represented by a team of eight doctors, led by Dr. T. Naresh Row, President of the Association, from Mumbai and Nagpur.

Dr. T. Naresh Row, had once again the distinction of being invited to deliver a Guest Lecture at the IAAS Congress. He spoke on 'Ambulatory Surgery in developing country: Barriers & Opportunities.' Several Posters and Free papers were presented by the members of the delegation.

India became a Full Member of the IAAS. Another milestone.

ADSCON 2010: During the AGM, we had the First election, Dr. T. Naresh Row, has been elected as President with Dr. Manish Bansal as Hon. Secretary. The complete Executive Committee is listed on another page.   

ADSCON 2010 was a well organised and well attended conference. The Theme of the conference is: ‘One Day Surgery: A New revolution’, was appropriate and well received. We had several poster presentations from all over the country and an Oration by Dr. N. K. Deshmukh, who was critical about the direction of the concept. He through his eloquent style, suggested ways to improve the acceptability of Day Surgery. Several senior colleagues, like Dr. D. D. Gaur, Dr. V. B. Deshmukh, Dr. T. R. Row, Padma Shri Dr. Ashok Gupta, Dr. M. M. Begani and Dr. M. G. Nariani, were felicitated. The Chief guest was Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, Chairman, Nagpur Improvement Trust, a medico turned IAS officer, who emphasised on the need and importance of Day Surgery in our country.  

Insurance policies have now taken up the change and included Day Surgery as reimbursable, doing away with '24 hrs' admission. It has taken more than 4 years to make this change. Correspondence is in progress to instruct the insurance agents in the changes, so that disbursal of claims can be done easily. We have positive support of the TPA Association.

The Association was formed in 2003 and the First Founding Body was incorporated and installed in 2005. Constitution was drafted for the working of the Association. Now, regular amendments have been made during the AGM, minutes of those have been sent periodically to you. Elections are due, rules have been framed and winds of change are proposed, implemented and executed. Elections do not mean rejection of an individual, but, in a true democratic spirit, it allows you to express yourself. The progress of the Association should be foremost in our minds. Whoever contests, gets elected or nominated, let us all continue to be as supportive for this is our organization, collectively.

There is more to come, we need to push for recognition of a Day Surgery Centre as a category for registration with the corporations. Working with NGO,s or hospitals in setting up Protocols, standards and parameters for Day Surgery, for the betterment of our patient population. There is much more to write. But, will end with an appeal to all, please send in your suggestions. Come forward and make this Association the largest family of Day Surgery providers. Please find among the papers, Scientific Program, broachers and details will follow. 

A balance between the economics and top quality, safe medical care, is what every individual strives for.
In organizing the Fourth National Conference of Day Surgery, we are taking another step in the history of this concept. We welcome you to be a part of it.

Let us strive to make this conference a success.
