State President and Hon. State Secretary’s message-June2015

Dear Colleagues,

Good thoughts are no better than good dreams,
unless they be executed.

We are sure you must have started thinking of giving one hour per week for IMA Activities. This will help us in fulfilling our dreams in the interest of Indian Medical Association & the society at large. So start
giving your precious one hour for the IMA. We should all be very grateful to all those who did and do our work which is absolutely voluntary and not reimbursable. They often know more about constitution, conventions and keep our tradition alive. They have brought us to our current level. Identity all of them at all levels.
We should recognize positively those who spend their time and energy for IMA. We should appreciate them.

Knowing is not enough, we must apply; willing is not
enough, we must do…

so friends starts working on the various initiatives, projects etc. and be a part of TEAM IMA GSB. This year IMA HQ & IMA GSB has started various new initiatives & projects. Be a part of such activity. One such initative “Preventing Blindness in Diabetes” has been launched. The local branches are requested to keep the awareness programme on such topic as well as Life Style Disease awareness, Rational use of Antibiotics, Pharmaco Vigilence, Mental Health, Soft skill, Malnutrition, Sleep disorders, Misuse of Topical Steroid Application on face, Palliative care etc.

The Nepal earthquake has given us the reminder of 2001 earthquake. What we have experienced is that now the incidence of disasters are increasing. People are more vulnerable to the disasters. Indian Medical Association HQ has done an excellent relief work in the earthquake affected areas of Nepal. Many members of IMA GSB has shown their willingness to be a volunteer. I request all of you to contribute generously towards IMA Disaster Relief Fund. Many of you must have participated in relief work and your inputs are valuable. The experience of our can be used as learning experience for better preparedness in future emergencies.

Tough times never last but Tough IMA members do….Your
decision to end tough times lies with IMA.

Various acts like Clinical Establishment Act, PC & PNDT Act, Biomedical Waste Management & Handling Act etc, to name a few, are very disturbing to us. Our National Leadership is doing best for us. In a true sense we must unite. Unity only at the times of distress is not called unity. Collectively, let us strive harder
to make the image of IMA better and rightfully create our individual identity as the IMA.
We must project ourselves as a Quality, and not waste energy in trying to disqualify others.

I am what I am

All our energy must be directed towards improving self. Self trust is the first secret of success
