Thiruvananthapuram: A one-day workshop organised by the State branch of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) here on Monday highlighted the importance of improving doctor-community relationship.

The press release said the IMA would equip its local branches to train doctors and hospital staff across the State in communication skills and ethical practices.

IMA State president Dr. R. Ramesh presided over the workshop. President of the Travancore Cochin Medical Council Dr. M.N. Rema inaugurated the event. Member, Medical Council of India, Dr. V.C.Velayudhan Pillai, IMA State secretary Dr. J. Rajagopalan Nair and chairman of the IMA Ethics Committee Dr. M. Bhaskaran were among those who spoke.
