Nearly 50,00,000 deaths occur due to medical negligence every year in India. According to experts, the ACCC for doctors and hospital staff focusing on the handling of critical or injured patients could reduce this number by 50 percent. The ACCC was developed in Europe and the two-day course is mandatory in the US and UK for surgical trainees.
The course aims to train surgical, gynecology, orthopedics and emergency specialized medicine specialties and surgeons to suspect and identify the patients at risk. The ACCC was introduced since 2012 in India but so far only 450 doctors throughout the country were trained. Source: The Economic Times
