AV Fistula Care Workshop Series
A Patient-Centric Initiative by Dr. Himanshu Verma and Team
Empowering Lives, One Workshop at a Time
Over the past year, we’ve embarked on a mission to raise awareness around AV fistula care and empower both patients and dialysis technicians with knowledge that can truly transform lives. Led by Dr. Himanshu Verma, Director, Department of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, the AV Fistula Care Workshop Series has so far touched hundreds of lives across multiple cities.
Each workshop was crafted with a single goal: better care, better awareness, and better outcomes.
