President’s Message…….
Dear Friends,
Greetings from IMA Mumbai West.
This month the most important issue dealt by IMA HQ is the issue, of generic medicine only to be prescribed by the family physicians, consultants, surgeons that was passed in early August by the National Medical Commission. The entire Doctor community revolted against this decision. Doctors who work tirelessly sometimes neglecting their families when attending medical emergency, for them this decision was not appropriate.
IMA HQ had meetings with the concerned committee and were able to showcase the consequences of this rule and had a meeting with the union health Minister Mr Mansukh Mandaviya sir seeking withdrawal of generic drugs, till there is quality assurance of all medicines. We also expressed concern over the regulations for doctors from attending conferences sponsored by pharma companies.
IMA Mumbai West feels proud to congratulate National President Dr Sharad Agarwal sir, HSG Dr Anilkumar Nayak sir and Dr Ashokan sir for great success in holding in abeyance the Gazetted Notifications of the NMC Registered Medical Practitioners Professional conduct regulations 2023, that was passed on 24th of August 2023.
Dear Colleagues I request you to make more doctors IMA members so that we all stay united in majority and together we will be able to solve our medical issues in Government.
Our work at IMA MW branch in month of August, was added by extra programmes of “Mera Bharat Mahan, karaoke singing, photography contest, Medical update, Independence Day celebration and state executive at Baramati that was attended by 18 members and regular CMEs on Thursdays, book launch of Fever IMA HQ program was launched at IMAMW Hall. That was very well organised and implemented with good attendance.
Looking forward to welcome IMA National President Dr Sharad Agarwal for Teacher’s Day celebrations at our branch.
