STATE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

As I step into the role of President of the Indian Medical Association, Gujarat, I am filled with gratitude and responsibility. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ketan Desai sir. I would also like to thank our esteemed seniors, and all my colleagues for placing their trust in me. This journey is collective, and I am humbled to lead an organization representing every doctor in Gujarat, from the most experienced to the youngest.

IMA Gujarat is more than just an association—it feels like a family, where each member belongs, no matter their age, background, or specialty. My vision is to strengthen this sense of belonging. Whether a senior consultant, a young doctor finding our path, or working in rural healthcare, IMA Gujarat is your home. Together, we form the heart of Gujarat’s medical community, and I am committed to ensuring every member feels heard, valued, and supported.

A key priority is Connecting with younger doctors, who are the future of healthcare. IMA Gujarat will be their pillar of strength, providing mentorship, professional development, and networking opportunities. We will ensure that young doctors have the tools and guidance needed to confidently navigate their careers, knowing the IMA will stand by them through every challenge.

Communication is also crucial. We must connect not just with each other but with all stakeholders: healthcare institutions, policymakers, patients, and the public. IMA Gujarat will serve as a bridge, ensuring that doctors’ voices are heard and proactively shaping the future of medicine in Gujarat.

Equally important is Cooperation with the community. We are not just doctors; we are part of society. IMA will take a leading role in community outreach, organizing health camps and awareness programs to build a healthier, proactive society with our Aao Gaon Chalen Project

Beyond professional growth, we will support members in pursuing hobbies and personal fulillment. A well-rounded doctor brings more compassion to their work. IMA will foster balance in the lives of our members.

Finally, global Collaboration in research and education is vital. We will establish partnerships with international medical bodies to open doors for global exchange, collaborative research, and learning opportunities, enriching healthcare in Gujarat.

Thank you once again for this opportunity. Together, we are IMA Gujarat, and together, we will create a lasting impact. Let’s move forward with a sense of unity, purpose, and shared success.

From the moment GIMACON began, it was clear that IMA Rajkot had orchestrated something truly special. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, creating a seamless and welcoming environment. The dedication and hard work behind the scenes made the conference not just a success, but a memorable experience for all, Thanks to IMA Rajkot…..
