Why need a separate Society??

  • No trained hand surgeons except Prof. RR Kairy in the country.
  • No conception about the special management among surgeons regarding Hand injury cases.

Maltreatment of Hand and tendon injury cases and poor result — ends up a –CRIPPLE Hand.

In the year 2006 , we sat four time to form a convening committee.

Convenor : Prof. R R Kairy

Member secretary : Dr. ASM Monirul Alam
