Current Bulletin

Greetings from IMA Gujarat!

It fills our heart with pride and joy to reflect on the vibrant spirit and unity that defines our IMA Gujarat community.

We prepare for something historic. Gujarat has been chosen to host the 100th National Conference of IMANATCON 2025. This is not just an event-it’s a celebration of our collective journey, and a chance for us to represent Gujarat on
the national stage. With over 5000+ delegates expected, it’s a moment of pride and responsibility. We warmly invite each member of our IMA family to connect with our team and be a part of this once-in-a-century occasion.

Adding to this wave of engagement, the DOC Studio musical extravaganza was truly unforgettable. Our very own
IMA doctors came together to present spellbinding instrumental performances to a packed audience. The atmosphere was electric, and it reminded us all of the beautiful bonds we share beyond our professional lives.

Recently, the IMA Medical Students Network of Gujarat, under the leadership of Dr. Mona Desai Ma’am, hosted a
wonderful Skit Competition. Students from nearly every medical college in Gujarat came forward, registered their
teams, and showcased their creativity with great enthusiasm. Their energy reflects the strong foundation and bright future of our fraternity.

We also saw incredible participation in Doc Lens, our photography showcase. Through their lenses, our doctors
captured stories, emotions, and moments that resonated deeply with everyone—once again proving that medicine and art can beautifully coexist.

Looking ahead, if you have any ideas or suggestions for events or initiatives that can bring our medical community
even closer, do share them with us. Whether it’s cultural, academic, medical, professional, or something entirely
new—we welcome your thoughts. Let’s keep building this journey together, hand in hand.

Let’s continue walking together, celebrating together, and growing together—as one IMA Gujarat.

Hope, you must updated your knowledge on Swine flu. Swine Flu is extending its wings and is now in Epidemic stage.

Indian Medical Association, Gujarat State Branch along with Health & Family Welfare Department, Govt. of Gujarat organize many district level programme for awareness and information of our members. If any district has not organized such programme, please so. Be vigilant, pick up the cases in early stage and refer it to the designated hospitals. Your co- operation is very much needed. Let us hope with for improvement in condition with gradual decline in cold.

14 & 15 February IMA Gujarat State Branch was fortunate to host the President, World Medical Association, Sir Dr. Michael Marmot, is on the visit of one of the tribal areas of North Gujarat. He saw the changes in the villages, changes in the people which are the results due to IMA’s initiative – ‘Aao Gaon Chalen’. Our visionary leader Dr. Ketan Desai is himself looking after the project in this area and taking personal interest in the upliftment of the tribal people. This is the single project which has changed the IMA’s image in the society. We earnestly request all the local branch Presidents and Hon. Secretaries to adopt at least one village and start doing activities. The restructured uniform project is being given in this bulletin. Dr. Sunil Acharya from Deesa is assigned to monitor this project. Please report to us . Your suggestions are most welcome.

This year’s first ever state programme “Medicine & Law” was extremelycsuccessful. More than 180 IMA members across the Gujarat attended it at Vadodara. We congratulate Team IMA Vadodara for successfully organizing the programme on behalf of IMA Gujarat. The second such State Programme is on 5 April 2015 at Surat on – Rational use of Antibiotics”. The aim of this programme is that our IMA Members will get the knowledge & uplift their skill from the invited National speakers. We request the other big branches to come forward for hosting such programmes like Disaster Management, Communication Skill and Care for Elderly.
