Walkathon held to highlight role of critical care doctors

The Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM) organised a ‘March On Foot’ walkathon on Sunday to spread awareness about critical illness and highlight the vital role of intensivists (specialists in the care and treatment of patients in intensive care) in saving lives.

The theme of the walkathon held to observe the ISCCM Day was “empowering the community against critical illness”. The other office-bearers, who participated in the rally, also expressed their concerns about the rising violence against doctors, particularly those working in the ICUs. They also emphasised the need for public understanding and appreciation of critical care professionals. The event brought together 383 doctors on one platform, promoting community health and engagement.
