JAMMU, Jan 15: Varanasi Orthopaedic Association (VOA) conferred the prestigious Prof TP Shrivastava Oration upon Padma Shri Prof Dr BKS Sanjay (president, AIIMS Guwahati), in recognition of his outstanding contributions to orthopaedics, medical education, public health advocacy and social service.
Delivering the oration in Varanasi, Prof Sanjay emphasized that the role of doctors must extend beyond the operation theatre.
