Brainware University salutes healthcare warriors at 'Healthcare Conclave 2022'

Faculty Development Programme on Emerging Trends in Humanities and Social Sciences

Not long back, we overcame the deadly waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a time when the sirens of the Ambulances were heard more frequently than the bus horns. Most of us were working from home because of the lockdown. However, there were people who were working without sleep, who were working overtime, they also lost their near and dear ones but they did not take time off from their duty. They were the healthcare workers, who are always committed to serving humanity!
Brainware University salutes these healthcare warriors. The university organised 'Healthcare Conclave 2022' to honour the healthcare warriors on July 16, 2022, at The Bengal Chamber. Phalguni Mookhopadhayay, Chancellor, Brainware University, and Mahua Pal, Registrar, Brainware University were present at the programme.
