What a successful adaptation of Liverpool’s NeuroID course @RunningMadProf for India by @NIMHANS_BLR, with the help of @OffCMCVellore’s @PriscillaRupali, and @LivUni_IVES’s @Sdefres1, setting us up so well for #red4WED @encephalitis today - over 300 attendees!
The recent #NeuroID course at #NIMHANS, Bangalore, was a great success! The @BIGlobal_NIHR team would like to thank @Netravathi_m and team for hosting, and all the fantastic speakers.

Another recommendation from the Covid Guidelines India team... against use of #Remdesivir for patients with #COVID19. See the full recommendation at indiacovidguidelines.org/rem….
The Covid Guidelines India guidelines group advise conditional recommendation for single-dose #tocilizumab in a narrowly defined subgroup of patients with severe/critical #COVID19 (& strongly against it for people with non-severe #COVID19) - see indiacovidguidelines.org/toc… for more!
