Women are the pillar of our society, oen underesmated and frequently sidelined. And mother is an epitome of womanhood, that which brings forth life, and nurtures the future generaon. The programme was chaired by the charismac gynecologist and ferlity specialist Dr Sonia Malik, who is world renowned in her field. She was ably assisted by co chairpersons Dr Seema Patni, Dr Deepmala Lalchandani, Dr ShamBatra, Dr Poonam Goyal and Dr Anita Sabharwal.
The unique panel conversaon was insighul as well as inciteful!! The topic was Challenges of Motherhood and the discussion consisted of two panels. One panel was of lady doctors of different ages, who talked about these challenges as experienced by them; and the other panel consisted of male doctors of different ages and generaon, who spoke about their percepon of motherhood as sons.
An entertaining cultural programme followed this discussion. Enthusiasc parcipants from different branches made it a memorable affair.
The chief guest was IPS Officer Dr Anita Roy. She among other things, spoke about circumstances of FIR registraon in cases of Medical negligence. She emphasized that the Police does not have the authority to register an FIR in such a case, unless the maer has been first referred to a Medical Board or State Medical Council.
The dais was also graced by the lovely ladies Dr Vandana Bagga (State Program Officer DSHM), Mrs Ruchi Jain (Mrs India 2016) and Dr Puja Dewan (Mrs India 2022).
I had the opportunity to call upon the Hon'ble Health Minister of Delhi, Mr Satyander Jain along with our President, Dr. Ashwini Dalmiya and Sr. Vice President Dr Sash Tyagi. We apprised him of the common issues faced by our members and suggested various soluons. In the meeng he opined that the general praconer should get the deserving place in our profession. He feels too much emphasis is on super specializaon. This puts pressure on both specialists as well as the common man. The humble MBBS degree is losing its value. The discussion ended with a solemn promise to meet regularly. It was a fruiul meeng.
I end with my fortnightly reminder: “ I HEREBY PLEDGE THAT I SHALL ALWAYS STAND STEADFAST WITH MY PROFESSIONAL BRETHREN. IN A MOMENT OF CRISIS, I SHALL BE PRESENT PHYSICALLY AND MORALLY TO ENSURE NO HARM IS CAUSED TO ANY M E M B E R O F M Y F R AT E R N I T Y A N D T H E I R ESTABLISHMENT “
