January 2022 Issue

Dear Members,

“My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing.
I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze.
My choice is my responsibility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.”

Since the spate of cases in Covid had drastically declined, the last few months saw a lot of frenetic activity and people were slowly trudging into their daily routine. It was during these times that the medical fraternity breathed a sigh of relief and settled themselves into their normal activities. As we focus on the positive, we think fewer negative thoughts and develop a better attitude and gain a more optimistic approach to life.

The National Conference of Indian Medical Association was held in Patna, Bihar and was well attended by all members and adequately represented by all branches across the country.

This event needs a special mention since many of our branches and members were felicitated for their yeomen service to society. Hence, a few words of appreciation and commendation to all awardees who deservedly
received one of the highest honours in medical practice from the national committee of IMA.

A special word of mention for Dr. Gargi Patel for being elected as the National Vice President of IMA, H.Q., New Delhi. Our admiration is immeasurable and we hold her in high esteem for her utopian achievement.

Melancholy is just an adjective to define the current scenario across the country and especially our state. We are again caught up in the throes of the 3rd wave. But various adjudicators have different opinions. We as doctors are still battling an unnerving virus which is not ready to give up. Thankfully, this time over the admission rate and mortality is signiϐicantly lower and it seems the virus is dying a slow death.

Let us hope for the best and maintain all necessary precautions in such inimical times. A sincere advice to all our doctors – request you to keep up the morale of all your patients and help them tide this crisis in a healthy and
prudent manner.
“Accentuate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative.”

The timely intervention of the government machinery has really aided us in managing and treating the deluge of patients that keep knocking our doors throughout the epidemic. Once again, our health department is in the forefront and is helping us to efϐiciently manage the current barrage of cases. Our team had a conducive meeting with our Union Minister of Health, Shri Mansukhbhai Mandavia and State Health Secretary, Shri Manoj Agrawal.
They have assured us of all possible cooperation and guidance and will roll out the services of all government accoutrements if need be.

They say – justice delayed is justice denied. But timely intervention by the IMA HQ has brought us decisive results. Congratulations to all students appearing for their admissions in UG, PG and the super specialty branches of medicine. We fervently wish that the process gets completed smoothly and efficiently this time over.

We request all branches to expedite the process of updating of digital data and emails for effective and efficient communication. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome and we hope to serve you better in the coming year through our network of communications
