BHUBANESWAR: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik urged endocrinologists to focus on prevention of endocrine related diseases through early diagnosis and treatment by using state-of-the-art techniques and procedures.Speaking at the 48th annual conference of Endocrine Society of India (ESI) here on Friday, he said the study of endocrinology and related diseases, some of which are related to lifestyle, requires more awareness and propagation.
