As doctors, we are not just healers but also leaders, guiding everyone towards better health and well-being. We urge you all to actively participate in these crucial initiatives, ensuring that we continue to grow stronger as a fraternity and serve society with excellence.

Register Your Clinical Establishment – Time is Now!

The Clinical Establishment Act [CEA] is a vital step towards standardizing medical practice, ensuring quality care, and safeguarding our rights as healthcare providers. Let’s not wait—get your medical setups registered ASAP and be part of this important step. A well-organized healthcare system beneits both doctors and patients, and your participation is crucial.

We, as doctors, have the power to save countless lives by educating our patients and communities about the importance of this vaccine. Let’s take this opportunity to protect the women of Gujarat and make cervical cancer a thing of the past!

Aao Gaon Chalen – Serve with Passion!

Healthcare is not just about treating illnesses; it’s about reaching those who need us the most. The Aao Gaon Chalen project is an opportunity for us to bring medical care to underserved areas and truly make a difference. Let’s step out of our comfort zones, visit rural areas, and extend our expertise where it is needed most. Every consultation, and every bit of awareness we spread can change lives.

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.

Dr. Sunil Acharya from Deesa is assigned to monitor this project. Please report to us . Your suggestions are most welcome.
