Director and Chairman Board of Manegment
Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi.

I feel privileged to be one amongst founder members of The “Society of Renal Nutrition & Metabolism (SRNM)” which is the first Indian society exclusively devoted to advancements in nutritional management of renal patients. A much awaited link that brings together treatment and nutritional intervention to give a holistic approach to management of renal disease. The main aim of SRNM is to foster communication of the advancement of knowledge in this field by means of scientific meetings and cooperation with other scientific societies of nephrology, nutrition, biochemistry and physiology.

Its first international activity “SRNMCON’15”, has brought together experts and participants in this field from all over India and abroad making it an international event. I am glad to see the enthusiasm amongst primary care physicians to participate in the conference, which is our target audience for future activities. This conference has helped us achieve our first goal of disseminating and advancing knowledge to those involved in primary care. The deliberations of this conference will be an eye opener for participants in term of latest advances in practice of renal nutrition and will enrich knowledge.

Dr Anita I must appreciate your initiative to organize an international event within a year of inception of the society. I am certain of grand success of the conference being held at SGPGI Lucknow. Nutrition is important issue at all stages of CKD and this society will provide the forum to address the issues and promote research at local level.

My best wishes to Society of Renal Nutrition & Metabolism (SRNM)” and its first international activity “SRNMCON’15.
