Dear members,
Greetings from IMA Pune.
At the outset, let me thank you for bestowing faith in me to take over as President of this prestigious, largest and most vibrant branch of IMA. It is an honor for me to lead this organization which has a rich legacy of 97 yrs.
I congratulate last Year team lead by Dr. Rajan Sancheti for the enthusiastic efforts.
I thank National President Dr. Dilip Bhanushali for gracing the occasion of my Installation Ceremony on 13th April 2025.
I am fully aware of the responsibilities of this post.
“Health for All” is the theme of this year. We will be conducting CPR training programmes and many social awareness programmes apart from Medical camps.
The academic activities will continue in the form of CME’s, conferences and Certificate courses by IMA Pune. We will be hosting “Hospicon” a state level Conference in the month of June. During our foundation weeks we will have cultural programmes as well as sports activities for our members.
Our team will have member centric approach. We will have “Zero Tolerance” approach towards Violence on Health care workers. Our Rush Team will be strengthened with proper liasoning with the Police.
Working on ease to operate small Nursing homes is our moto. We are aware of all the problems members are facing regarding MPCB, Fire NOC and Infrastructure rules that are added in the Bombay Nursing Home act recently. We will work very hard with the very active HBI team of IMA Pune. We will liaison with the PMC as well as Health Ministry Department to bring in single window scheme for Hospital Registrations and Renewal.
We have planned Mental Health Programmes for MSN and JDN as it the need of hour.
Unexpected and disproportionate public outrage through various political parties in front of DMH and Ashvini Hospital has shaken the medical fraternity to great extent. IMA Pune proactively got involved into the matter to support and help Dr Sushrut Ghaisas. We also released a strong press note to give clean chit to him. We could do this before any investigation committee report was made available.
Thankfully other associations followed our steps to support him.
Dear friends medical community is going through a very hard time and we need to be united to secure good atmosphere for our future generation doctors.
I seek your blessings and support for my tenure so that together we achieve our goals.
I assure you all that I will be Responsible, accountable and approachable throughout the year.
Jai IMA….
