Dr Vivek Nangia, Director Pulmonology and Infectious Diseases at Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital was commended in a ceremony by Princess Anne, Her Royal Highness, Princess Royal on the successful completion of Masters in Sciences in Infectious Diseases from the prestigious London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) through the Royal University of London. The ceremony was attended by more than 3000 delegates from around 180 countries. Dr Nangia was one of five physicians from across the globe and the only one from India to be felicitated by Her Royal Highness Princess Royal on successfully completing the prestigious programme. According to Dr Nangia, “In order to cope with the growing challenge of infectious diseases in India, a formal, well-structured training programme in this super speciality is the need of the hour. The absence of qualified Infectious Diseases specialists in most multi-speciality tertiary care centres is a very grave situation.”
