“This course was started three years ago and is the only course in the country or South East Asia to train people in the management of varicose veins. This year, we are getting candidates from Sri Lanka, Middle East, Mauritius and Egypt and to make this truly international. We are getting more than 40 candidates for the course and more than 10 National and International Faculty. During this workshop, more than 30 live cases will be done in the advanced Hybrid Vascular Theatre,” Dr Jindal shared.

Being held till August 6, the event will discuss vascular diseases that affect around 6-8 % of the population. “Venous diseases are more commonly found in tall, obese, post-pregnancy women and patients who stand for a long time. As is the global trend of this disease, India too is witnessing a steady rise in the number of people affected by varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, venous ulcers and arterial venous malformations,” the doctor said.

Dr Jindal cautioned that untreated venous ulcers could be very debilitating as these are associated with chronic ulcers and could lead to huge treatment cost too. “Patients can develop non-healing ulcers if not treated in time,” Dr Jindal cautioned.
