Organizing ChairpersonGreetings from the President and Secretary.
It all started with an enthusiastic group of doctors engrossed in a subspecialty three-year academic course – DM in Trauma Anesthesia & Acute Care at Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) Chandigarh, a premier institute in Northern India.
These doctors formed a Trauma Anesthesia Group (TAG), of like-minded personals who recognized that saving lives after trauma requires not only optimal immediate care at the trauma site and during transport but rigorous research in fields of fluid resuscitation, airway management, clinical monitoring and trauma surgery. The Society of Trauma Anesthesia & Critical Care (STACC) has made remarkable strides in its mission to enhance trauma care in India since its inception.
Over the years, STACC has established itself as a pivotal organization in the field, bringing together a diverse group of medical professionals dedicated to improving trauma outcomes. The society's journey has been characterized by a series of achievements and a steadfast commitment to expanding its reach and impact. Looking ahead, STACC envisions a future where its membership base continues to grow, reflecting the society's expanding reach and the increasing awareness of the importance of specialized trauma care.
The goal is not just to increase numbers but to foster a community of professionals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of trauma patients.
