‘Govt should start MCH in Urogynaecology’

By Vikas Vaidya


After completing her post graduation she was working in a hospital in rural area, there she realised need and necessity to improve the competency and skill with reference to urinary system which is very close to genital tract. There she felt that the super specialisation is needed in urogynaecology. She then went on to acquire MCH in urology when she had already done Gynaecology post graduation.
Dr N Rajamaheshwari the first lady Urogynaecologist in the country has urged Government to start super specialisation in Urogynaecology. She is in city to deliver lecture organised by Nagpur Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society (NOGS). There is some emotional reason behind her acquiring super speciality skills in urogynaecology. But that was not the only reason behind her efforts to request government to start super specialisation in urogynaecology. Dr Rajamaheshwari retired from Government hospital in 2002. According to her what she was learning in 1980 has no connection with what she is practicing now.
Dr Anuradha Ridhorkar, President of NOGS said, “Female urology is something different and was not realised earlier. Dr Rajamaheshwari came forward and pioneered this particular speciality. She felt that there was a lacuna in the curriculum as gynaecology means doing delivery and handling uterus related problems while urologist means one who deals with urinary problem. They never had an opportunity to work more into female genital tract problem.
Dr Rajamaheshwari thought that she should equip herself. she did fellowship in female urogynaecolgy and reconstructive surgery in UK. She came back and started offering services to Government. At the same time she offered her services to the economically backward class through Government institutions. “We started training doctors with a view that they would go back to their respective states and teach others. We have a national urogynaecology society having affiliation from international society,” pointed out Dr Rajamaheshwari.
Dr Rajameheshwari did not stop here. She started training others. She conducts operative workshop. This has been going since last 17 years. City gynaecologist Dr Anuja Bhalerao had been to Chennai who found herself complete change in her practice. Dr Anuradha Ridhorkar said, “Vision gets changed completely. Vaginal surgery still a domain of gynaecology but Dr Rajamaheshwari added value to it.” Dr Rajamaheshwari will be performing procedure live for urinary incontinence, on Sunday, at CARE hospital at Hotel Centre Point.
