Amandeep Hospital, in partnership with Ujala Cygnus Healthcare Services and Amritsar Orthopaedics Forum (AOF), successfully hosted the 2nd Edition of the Punjab Knee & Hip Course from September 20 to September 21 at Taj Swarna, Amritsar.

After the resounding success of its first edition, this year’s programme once again brought together leading national and international experts in the field of orthopaedics who shared advancements, practical knowledge and surgical skills in knee and hip treatments.

The programme was designed to offer an engaging mix of live surgical demonstrations, case discussions, lectures and interactive sessions focused on the latest techniques and innovations in knee and hip surgeries. The course served as a unique platform for orthopaedic surgeons, postgraduate students and healthcare professionals to exchange insights and enhance their clinical expertise.

We are proud to see such enthusiastic participation from surgeons across India and abroad.
