Arvind Kumar Baronia: A Visionary Indian Academician in Critical Care Medicine.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Baronia, an esteemed academician, devoted his professional life to laying the foundation of the specialty of critical care medicine (CCM) in India in the public sector. His vision and efforts to provide world-class clinical care to patients requiring intensive care units not only led to the establishment of the first standalone department of CCM in the public sector in India but also contributed significantly to formulating a well-structured training course for CCM as well as to get recognition of this specialty as a super-specialty branch of medicine in India. These academic milestones ultimately continue to create a pool of well-trained critical care physicians from various teaching institutes and colleges in India who serve to save thousands of lives of critically ill patients throughout the country.
