March 2022 Issue

Respected Members,

Season’s Greetings !!

“Third wave of COVID-19 Pandemic” is now under control.
Fortunately morbidity & mortality was less in this wave, thanks to good vaccination coverage and our own immunity. Still we have to be very cautious and observe all precautions; as advised by government authority.

As a medical practitioners, we all have served our patients, to the best of our ability.

You all deserve special appreciation for your active efforts in controling this 3rd wave of Pandemic. 

On 19th February, 2022 ; we had attended all State Branch President/Secretaries Meeting at IMA Head Quarters, New Delhi. We had presented our branch activities & our future plans. Everybody appreciated our efforts and success of our “Membership Drive”.

We had organized “State Working Committee” meeting on 26th February-2022 at SOU ECO Resort, Ektanagar (Kevadiaya). This meeting was very well attended by more then 60 SWC members & more then 35 spouse & children. I am thankful to all SWC members for their active participation in this important meeting.

Recent Ukraine crisis have caused detrimental effect on our UG Medical Students aboard. We expect some amicable solution from NMC and Central Government for their further studies. “Heat Wave” has already started. All are requested to take care of yourself and your near and dear ones.

High temperatures could lead to heat exhaustion, especially for those spending a lot of time outdoors. “The human body sweats to reduce its core temperature in a normal situation. In the case of a heat wave, the body’s core temperature increases, because of prolonged sun exposure or physical exertion in high temperatures. Heatstroke occurs when a person’s body temperature rises to 104 degrees F (40 degrees Celsius) or higher — a condition most common in the summer months.

“Some common symptoms of heat exhaustion include high body temperature, nausea, altered mental state, changes in sweating patterns, rapid breathing and severe headache. While heat exhaustion is preventable and rarely life-threatening, untreated heatstroke can quickly damage your brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles. The damage worsens when treatment is delayed, increasing the risk of serious complications or death. If a person has symptoms of heat exhaustion, it is important to seek immediate medical care, especially if the situation does not improve in an hour,”

My personal appeal to all Local Branch President / Secretaries.
(1) Have a strong bonding with Specialty Associations. Organize more & more programmes in collaboration with them.

(2) Ensure “Beti Bachavo Beti Padhavo” drive and organize more Community Programmes; keeping this drive in mind.

(3) Please actively implement “Aao Gaon Chale” Programme. Try to reach & serve more & more Rural Patients.

(4) Do proactive effort for “Membership Drive” and bring more and more Young Doctors under umbrella of IMA.

(5) Organize Comunity Activities like “Blood Donation Camp”, “Pledge for Organ Donation”, Awareness Programmes on Cancer, Programmes on “TB Eradication”, Prevention of Bliness”, Awareness Programmes on Lifestyle Disease, Use &misuse of Social Media, Prevention of Obesity in Children & Adolescents, Awareness Programme on Adult Vaccination etc. 

Your Constructive suggestions and feedback is always welcome.

We appreciate all branches and Women Doctors of our Association; for their active participation & organizing many programmes for the benefit of females on Auspicious Occasion of “International Women’s Day” celebrations; on 8 March 2022.

At the End,
“Every time we fall and get up, We are one step close to Success,
Even failures make us move Forward, so don’t be afraid of Failures.
“TOGETHER WE WILL ACHIEVE”.
