Live surgeries are money spinners for conferences
Tuesday, 24 October 2023
The All India Ophthalmic Society (AIOS) organized live surgeries at its mid-term conference in Visakhapatnam, despite a public interest petition challenging their legality. The society charged sponsoring companies Rs 5 lakh for each live surgery session. AIOS President Dr Harbansh Lal claimed that the surgeries were performed with permission and precautions, and with informed consent from patients. However, concerns have been raised about the ethics and safety of live surgeries, with some suggesting that they are more about promoting products than educating doctors.
