|February 2018
Dr Mohanan K, Professor and HOD of Radio diagnosis, Govt Medical College, Thrissur, Kerala, has been recently elected as the 74th President of IRIA. He is the first president from Kerala and has a strong agenda for change in the Indian radiology sector. Raelene Kambli catches up with Dr Mohanan K to understand his vision for Indian radiology
-
Congratulations for becoming the new President of IRIA. I would like to know your vision for the upliftment of the radiology sector in India.
Thank you! India, being the second largest country has an immense scope for the radiology sector to flourish. India has a large number of radiologist as compared to many countries in the world. 50 per cent of our radiologists are young and so the scope for further advancements and development increases manifold. Also, considering that 50 per cent of our country’s population is below 40 years, I feel the sector is certainly poised for growth.
We are at par with any country in the world with regards to technology, competence and efficiency. If you take any country from the world map, you will see that Indian radiologists are excelling in their work. Such excellence can be applied here as well.
