The 21st Delhi Critical Care Symposium focuses on enhancing patient care through technology and training, featuring top medical experts.
New Delhi, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : The 21st Delhi Critical Care Symposium (DCCS) took place at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi on November 14, 2026. This significant event brought together senior doctors and specialists from across the country to promote knowledge in critical care.
Dr. Amit Goyal, the organizing secretary, emphasized that the symposium aims to enhance and disseminate information related to critical care. He highlighted the importance of equipping the next generation with the latest knowledge and skills in critical care medicine, ensuring that patients receive optimal care and achieve the best health outcomes.
Dr. Akhil Taneja, the event chair, noted the substantial progress in critical care over the past two decades. Initially, the field focused primarily on organ support. However, advancements now include precision medicine, ECMO, and point-of-care ultrasound, alongside the integration of artificial intelligence into medical practices. He stressed the importance of what representatives learn at the symposium and how they can apply this knowledge to improve patient treatment.
Dr. Anoop Agarwal, the treasurer of DCCS, welcomed all faculty and participants, reiterating the conference’s commitment to education. He mentioned that students are encouraged to engage fully and that numerous learning opportunities were available. Prior to the conference, a pre-conference workshop was held, leading into the two-day symposium at the India Habitat Centre.
Dr. Anil Gurnani, Director of the Critical Care Group at Kailash Hospital, discussed the pros and cons of AI in medicine. He reminded attendees that while AI is a hot topic, the value of human intelligence should not be overlooked. The conference included six workshops that provided hands-on learning experiences in various aspects of critical care, including respiratory care, cardiovascular monitoring, and the application of AI.
The DCCS aims to foster a collaborative environment for medical professionals to enhance their skills and improve patient care through innovative practices.
