Dear Members and Colleagues,

 

It is a matter of great pride and responsibility to serve as the President of the Delhi Branch of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India. Our association stands on the strong foundation built by our predecessors — through their vision, dedication, and relentless pursuit of academic and professional excellence.

 

The field of Otorhinolaryngology is evolving rapidly, embracing new technologies, research insights, and interdisciplinary approaches. As a community, our strength lies in staying connected, curious, and committed to continuous learning. My focus during this term will be to enhance opportunities for academic exchange, promote evidence-based clinical practice, and encourage young ENT specialists to take active roles in research and innovation.

 

Delhi AOI has always been known for its vibrancy and inclusiveness. We will continue to organize scientific meetings, skill-based workshops, and collaborative programs that bring together experts from across institutions. These initiatives aim not only to refine our clinical skills but also to nurture a spirit of mentorship and camaraderie among members.

 

I invite every member to contribute ideas, participate wholeheartedly in our activities, and help us strengthen the identity of Delhi AOI as a leading academic and professional forum in the country. Together, let us continue to advance the frontiers of ENT and Head–Neck Surgery and ensure that our specialty remains dynamic, respected, and patient-centered.

 

With warm regards,

Prof. Neelima Gupta

President, AOI Delhi Branch (2025–26)
