Ludhiana, October 20, 2018: Moved by the horrific tragedy on Dusshera at Amritsar, internationally renowned cardio-vascular surgeon Dr Harinder Singh Bedi has offered free surgeries of victims sustaining various injuries including vascular trauma.
Making the offer, Ludhiana-based Dr Bedi said that vascular trauma means damage to any of the blood vessels mostly of the arm or leg. The treatment in selected cases entails a meticulous skilled surgery which can restore blood supply and save the limb.
Dr Bedi is one of the senior most members of the Vascular Society of India (VSI) and is the founder patron of the Association of North Zone Cardio Thoracic & Vascular Surgeons (ANZCTVS).
He explained that there are a limited number of trained vascular surgeons in India. In case required, he offered the services of his full super-speciality team to the state government to treat such cases without any surgical charge.
Dr Bedi has been in active practice in Punjab for 20 years and he feels that this is the least that he can do for the people of our region.
