Ganga Hospital inaugurated the 13th Annual Conference of the Musculoskeletal Society India, a prestigious event dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in the field of musculoskeletal health. The conference, themed “Relevance to All,” was held from July 25 to July 27, 2025.
The Musculoskeletal Society India is a leading organisation committed to promoting education, research, and innovation in musculoskeletal health across the country. This year’s conference aimed to offer comprehensive and insightful discussions on recent developments and emerging trends in the field.
The inaugural ceremony, held on July 26, 2025, was attended by a distinguished panel of dignitaries and experts. Participants in the session included Dr. Raja Sabapathy, Director, Department of Plastic Surgery, Ganga Hospital; Dr. Jayaraj Govindraj, President, Musculoskeletal Society India; Dr. Rajasekaran, Organising Chairman; Brigadier Nayak; Steven Wong, President, AMS; Dharmendra Kumar Singh, Secretary, Musculoskeletal Society India 2025; and Dr. Anbarasu and Dr. Pushpa, Organising Secretaries of the conference.
The event featured specialised workshops focusing on musculoskeletal MRI, ultrasound, and image-guided interventions. Led by an experienced faculty of experts in musculoskeletal radiology, these sessions were designed to deliver in-depth knowledge, practical exposure, and interactive learning opportunities.
Adding an engaging element, a National MSK Quiz Contest was held during the conference, drawing enthusiastic participation from attendees and continuing into the second day.
Dr. Pushpa, Organising Secretary and Head of the Radiology Department at Ganga Hospital, said, “We are delighted to host the 13th Annual Conference of the Musculoskeletal Society India at Ganga Hospital. Our aim is to foster knowledge-sharing and advancements in musculoskeletal care, ensuring its relevance to a wide spectrum of healthcare professionals and, ultimately, to patients.”
Dr. Rajasekaran, Organising Chairman, stated that radiology plays a vital role in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases. Over the past decade, interventional radiology has become more common, often eliminating the need for surgery in many chronic conditions. He added that with Ganga Hospital being one of the largest orthopaedic centres in the country and South Asia, it is a privilege to host such a significant event.
The conference saw the participation of nearly 600 radiologists from across India and neighbouring countries. The programme included workshops, symposia, a quiz contest, and extensive discussions on musculoskeletal pathologies using a clinico-radiological approach.
Dr. Jayaraj Govindraj, President of the Musculoskeletal Society India, commented that the conference serves as a vital platform for experts and practitioners to come together, exchange ideas, and explore cutting-edge techniques in musculoskeletal medicine. He expressed confidence that the event would be highly productive and engaging.
The 13th Annual Conference of the Musculoskeletal Society India proved to be a significant gathering for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students dedicated to musculoskeletal health, further strengthening collaborative efforts and progress in the field.
