Diabetic foot is a serious problem in India, affecting a significant percentage of individuals with diabetes. It is estimated that 15-25% of patients with diabetes in India will develop foot ulcers, which can lead to infections, gangrene, and amputations. Improving diabetes management and prevention strategies are needed to address this issue.
Shri Sathya Sai College of Nursing in association with Amit Jain’s project for diabetic foot organized a CME on Diabetic Foot. The aim of this program was to create an awareness on Diabetic Foot and the significance of early screening and prevention. The program was held on 18th February 2023 in Lecture Hall-I, Ground Floor, College Block of SSSMCRI. The program featured a state-of-the-art original innovative academic series on Diabetic Foot called “The Amit Jain’s Apoorva Show – Version 2” by Dr. Amit Jain and Dr. Apoorva. Dr. Amit Jain is a renowned expert in the field, who has earned a dubious distinction of being the founder and father of modern and super modern diabetic foot surgery and has 5 distinct world records in diabetic foot. The presentation by Dr. Amit Jain and Dr. Apoorva in the CME was humorous and thought provoking. A total of 275 delegates participated in the CME, which included UG and PG students from SSSCON, SSSMCRI, and Doctors and Nurses from the hospital. The participants gave feedback that the sessions were enriching and engaging.
