JAMMU: Dr Rohit Lahori, a renowned pain specialist posted at Government Hospital Gandhi Nagar, Jammu, has brought major recognition to Jammu and Kashmir by becoming the first examiner from the Union Territory for the prestigious Fellowship of Indian Academy of Pain Medicine (FIAPM) program.

He served as an examiner at the FIAPM evaluation held at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad on July 27, marking a significant milestone for the region in the field of pain medicine. The invitation reflects Dr Lahori's national reputation and expertise in pain management.
