Golden Hour Network launched in Bengaluru to improve trauma care

Bengaluru: The Golden Hour Network (GHN) was launched at the HOSMAT Traumacon 2026, a practice-driven trauma conference, on Saturday. 

GHN is a structured, professional trauma care community that brings together surgeons trained within the HOSMAT ecosystem under a shared commitment to improve trauma care. 

Named after the critical ‘Golden Hour’, the first hour following injury, where timely intervention determines survival.

Over the next six months, the GHN aims to establish its governance structure, onboard senior alumni and initiate its first clinical engagements. 

The conference featured a comprehensive, full-day scientific agenda with over 25 expert-led sessions, covering upper limb trauma, complex lower limb injuries, paediatric trauma, non-union surgeries, complication management, medico-legal aspects and orthopaedic practice efficiency. 

Anisha Chandy Eckardt, Managing Director, HOSMAT Hospitals, said: “Trauma care in India does not suffer from a lack of clinical expertise but from gaps in time, training and integration.”
