PUDUCHERRY: In a bid to boost toxicology preparedness, Puducherry government has launched a state-specific manual for doctors and nurses to treat poisoning cases, and completed a training workshop for 81 healthcare professionals. The initiative, part of the TOXI-TRAIN workshop held at the Indira Gandhi Medical College & Research Institute (IGMC&RI), concluded on Saturday. The poisoning manual, tailored to the toxicological profile of the union territory, is aimed at standardising the management of poisoning cases across all healthcare levels. It will be distributed to primary health centres (PHCs), community health centres (CHCs), and the district hospital. Designed for doctors and nurses, the manual ensures evidence-based and uniform treatment protocols in poisoning emergencies. The TOXI-TRAIN workshop was jointly organised by IGMC&RI's Department of Emergency Medicine & Trauma, the INDIA-EMS Project (supported by the Indian Council of Medical Research), and the Directorate of Health & Family Welfare Services. The programme focused on enhancing Puducherry's capacity to handle poisoning cases through hands-on training and knowledge dissemination.
