BACKGROUND
The Association of Rural Surgeons of India [ARSI] presents this award for innovations in rural surgery. The objective is to encourage innovations in rural surgical care. Earlier the Antia–Finseth awards were given to innovations like; the use of mosquito net instead of the Prolene mesh as these materials were shown to be similar and for low cost ventilators. Such innovations have made surgeries in rural areas much less expensive and hence affordable at the same time providing high quality care.
The award was started jointly by the contributions of Dr. Antia and Dr. Finseth. Dr. Antia is a renowned Plastic surgeon who despite his very high academic achievements was interested in rural health care.
