With non-invasive modes of ventilation becoming more popular in usage and often carried out in home settings, it is important to train attendants and even lay people in handling such a device with safety. We are delighted to have partnered with ISA Raipur for this programme, said Mr Ashok Patel, the founder and brain behind Max Ventilator.
“At a time when cardio-pulmonary and lung-related disorders are on a constant rise with ever-increasing need for ventilatory assistance to patients, our hospitals and health facilities need more and more trained personnel who could comfortably work with mechanical ventilators as also the non-invasive ventilation. After all, ventilators are lifesaving devices. This CME programme was intended to train more number of medical personnel on usage of ventilators and disseminate related knowledge. I would like to thank Max Ventilator for extending their cooperation for this event,” said Dr. Mayur Menghani, ISA Raipur Secretary.

When these new technologies are becoming a part of the healthcare system, it is important that our healthcare professionals should be informed and trained well about the recently developed Non Invasive Ventilators. This CME can help not only the professionals but the aspiring professionals also. The Need of achieve excellence in healthcare is mandatory for us as we are the leading digital healthcare country.
