All delegates were extremely happy with the manner in which Prof Arulkumaran simplified the complex pathophysiology of fetal hypoxia and interpretation of CTG. His lectures on Still Birth and PPH provided the most comprehensive coverage from basics to the latest concepts. The ‘hands-on’ drill on PPH management at MAMC was also attended by a large number of delegates who found it very helpful to clear their all doubts.
