December 2022 Issue

Dear Doctor Colleagues,
I feel extremely happy and humbled, upon receiving warm best wishes, happy and cordial
congratulations by phone, letters and messages. Such a warm welcome to new president, gives me
encouragement as well as an additional sense of responsibility, to work more, work hard and work with zest
and zeal, for the IMA-GSB.
Having received so many invitations to visit IMA branches and participate in their scientific programs, I
am very enthusiastic to visit as many functions as possible. I want to visit maximum branches, and encourage
new doctors as prospective members to join IMA, and make them interested in enrollments in various IMA
schemes.
Many NGOs are coming forward to co-work with us in public health education and improvement of
understanding regarding living life healthy and longer.
Many branch have formed social media groups of local members. If we form an umbrella groups of office
bearers of each branch, we can communicate to each member in a faster and better way, this will also help in
forming a quick action task force.
The medico spiritual conference, organized on 18th December 2022, during the PSM-100 Centennial
celebration at Pramukh Swami Nagar (Ognaj, Ahmedabad) on the joint aegis of IMA-GSB and BAPS was a
grand success. More than 1800 members took benefit of medical and spiritual lectures, excellent sattvik
prasadam food, as well a guided VIP tour, an inspirational visit of Pramukh Swami Nagar.
Also, it is a very happy news that, in collaboration with Gujarat National Law University (GNLU),
beginning from1 January 2023; IMA-GSB is starting a 1 year distance learning Law course, a post graduate
diploma in medical law policy and ethics (PGDMLPE), which should be joined by all our members and become
well oriented and reasonably proficient in knowledge and field of laws (civil and criminal) pertaining to our
medical practice. This is the need of the hour, and which will become a dire necessity in coming years, sooner
than later.
On 04-12-2022, on occasion of World AIDS Day, Ahmedabad Medical Association (AMA) and State AIDS
control Society jointly organized a one day CME, in which many state and national faculties gave didactic
lectures, along with many scientific papers being presented. We also honored 50 Centurion (100 times) Blood
Donors, which was a great pleasure.
I am especially thankful to AMA president Dr. Jitendra Shah, secretary Dr. Gargi Patel, and our state
secretary Dr. Mehul Shah, for this wonderful event organization, and for welcoming and honoring me in this
function.
I hope and pray, that together we can make IMA-GSB more vibrant in future.
