Orthopaedic Surgeon - India

Hi This is Prof. Dr N K Aggarwal from Ludhiana. I heard this conversation with Dr Kiran with great interest. In early part of my Orthopaedic Career (1984-86), I worked in Afghanistan and had invaluable experience managing war injuries. The learnings from there, which included evolution of an extremely simple and versatile external fixation system hugely impacted my professional journey. Having worked in different parts of the world, I am now settled at Ludhiana, an industrial town in North India. I would love to get in touch with Kiran and hope that sharing our experiences could add something useful towards Kiran's global health projects. I'll be grateful if I can have Kiran's contact details. My contact details are as under: email: nkaggrwl@hotmail.com Cell and Whatsapp: +91 9815014201 Postal address: 33-G, B. R. S. Nagar, Ludhiana - 141012, INDIA I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards
