In the august presence of Dr Bhaskar Narayan Chaudhuri, HISICON Organizing Secretary, Prof Sandeep Guleria and others, HISICON 2019 was announced.

The conference provided a platform for sharing of knowledge among professionals interested in the study of Infection Control and Microbiology in India.

The doctors highlighted on the fact that people should be more careful before they eat. They must wash their hands so as to stop the spread of infections. That will help them to keep their health in good condition.

The doctors also threw light on the fact that consuming antibiotics without consulting a doctor can lead to antibiotic resistance in individuals. Consuming antibiotics for ailments in which you don’t need to consume them can be harmful for your health in the long run. It is therefore advisable for one to get the opinion of a doctor and then consume such medicines.

Awareness among the public is one of the most important things that can put an end to such practices, added the doctors.
