Docs vow to act against unethical medical practice




By Vikas Vaidya

It was the installation of new body of Indian Medical Association (IMA), Nagpur chapter. But, it was not like any other installation ceremony because doctors present in the function vowed to act against unethical medical practice.
Most of the senior office-bearers not only admitted mistakes of a few in the fraternity but also vowed to take measures against them. Admitting that a few doctors spoiled the image of ethically practicing doctors, Dr Kishor Taori, Chairman of Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) said, “MMC is duty-bound to punish them. All organisations of doctors should talk to their members and promote ethical practice. The doctors involved in cut practice will be dealt with severely. But, self-governance is always better that Government or society taking law in their hands.”
Noted actress Varsha Usgaonkar installed the new team of IMA Nagpur. Noted sexologist Dr Sanjay Deshpande and Dr Kush Jhunjhunwala were installed as President and Secretary. Dr Dilip Sarda, President, IMA Maharashtra; Dr Ashok Adhao, Past National President of IMA; Dr Krishna Parate, Chairman of Public Protection System; Dr Milind Naik, Vice-President of IMA HQ, and other office-bearers shared the dais.
In his acceptance speech, Dr Sanjay Deshpande vowed to continue good work initiated by the past team and also resolved to ‘save, nurture, and educate the girl child’. Usgaonkar released the poster of this ‘Sankalp’. She agreed to become brand ambassador for the project in Maharashtra. She also appreciated the concept of ‘Save Girl Child’, promoted by Dr Kishor Taori.
Dr Alka Mukherjee and Dr Vijay Upadhyaya conducted the programme and Dr Kush Jhunjhunwala proposed a vote of thanks.

Proud parents of Deshpande, Agrawal 

The parents of Dr Sanjay Deshpande (Ganesh and Malti) and Dr Kush Jhunjhunwala (Dr D N Agrawal and Sumitradevi) were also felicitated on this occasion. Ganesh Deshpande called his son a brave person and said that he did not feel surprised when Sanjay became President of IMA. “He would do something great for the society,” he said. Dr D N Agrawal, who was IMA President in the past, also felt proud and expressed his gratitude towards IMA for making Kush as Secretary.

Dr Ajay Deshpande to be Cycle Club in-charge 

Responding to the call given by Dr Dilip Sarda, Nagpur IMA also joined the ‘Cycle Club’ movement. Dr Ajay Deshpande, noted ENT Surgeon, was made in-charge of the club. Dr Sarda expected doctors to come to IMA on bicycle.

  1. Respected Sirs,
    It is great to know that strict action is being planned against cut practice in medical fraternity. Similarly it would be highly appreciated if strong action is also taken against illegal pathology Laboratories run by unqualified Technicians who are just DMLT or P.hd. This action is now pending since a long time and fast and urgent action is necessary to be taken. Even the High Courts of many states have asked for action against these Labs. However even after knowing the illegality some doctors are still referring patients to these Labs for their cut practice .

    Can a fast and stringent action be expected against these cut practioners and illegal Laboratories on emergency basis
