Greetings from IMA Bangalore Branch, With much experienced in Medicine, medical world, with conference organising capacity and above all his zest to do something different with JOSH for the welfare of members, I shall create a year of knowledge update, fun and frolic. I would request members of social security and professional protection scheme to kindly pay their renewal fees within stipulated time as the penalty money is very high or it may lead to loss of membership to that particular scheme. In these difficult times of medical practice and specially the doctors who are made targets for the inevitable death of the patient, we have to be more united. Under the guidance and active and prompt involvement of National President Dr Sahajanand Singh, Hon Secretary General HQ Dr Jayesh Lele and State President and Secretary leadership, IMA authorities will continue their efforts until a stringent central law for protection of doctors is passed. We all will stay united in IMA and motivate more doctors to become members of this prestigious Organisation. Long live IMA.
