DGHS defends broader definition of Intensivist, Critical Care Specialists see red - Video
|
Overview
Although the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) under the Union Health Ministry recently defended its broader definition of an "Intensivist" citing the scarcity of physician staff with minimum standards of training for critical care delivery, the critical care specialists having NMC recognised degrees are not happy with the explanation.
Raising the issue, a newly formed Forum of Intensivists and Critical Care Specialists (FICCS) agreed that the need for critical care specialists in resource-limited settings is a matter of concern and "possibly DGHS have given a uniform all-inclusive definition of intensivists to match the demand."
