It is the need of the hour that we all remain alert and united to fight such menaces. The membership strength of IMA Maharashtra State has crossed 35,000. The registered medical practitioners according to the list of Maharashtra Medical Council is around 80,000. For any policy decision with our state government 50% strength of our doctor is needed. For this same reason IMA HQ has slashed the Head Quarters Fund [HFC] contribution by nearly 60% till June 2014. Life membership Single is only Rs. 3,000 and Life membership Couple is 4,500, During my tenure we should try to reach to 45,000 membership strength. Hence all member who have not registered with the IMA should take the benefit of this scheme. Now, in the changed scenario, doctor has to remain academically up-to-date and at the same time, he should also know various laws governing medical practice, patient's expectations and society at large to become successful in his practice. IMA is an active NGO of doctors, who looks after all the requirements of our fraternity. Our speciality organisation looks after only our academic update. IMA is demanding Medical Tribunal in respective district forums, which will scrutinize forward the case to State Medical Tribunal and can appeal to the Central Medical Tribunal. We will be giving representation shortly for the Medical Tribunal to the Government through Law Commission and Law Ministry. We will keep you in touch about this issue as it progresses. This year we have to do the follow up of Anti-Quackery Law. IMA HQ has already given memorandum to the Central Government to form a Central Anti-quackery Act. The Government will have to consider the law as we have obtained the Ordinance against Hospital Protection Act. As State branch leaders we will do the follow up at State Government level. Dr. Ashok Adhao our past State and National president of IMA is the democratically elected candidate of our state for MCI elections. He is the face of our State IMA. It is our duty to elect him in forthcoming MCI elections with thumping majority. This coming year my theme is 'BEYOND HEALTH ' . We as the family physicians or specialists always take care of the whole society, but what about our health? The average life span of an Indian doctor is less than the other citizens. This can be blamed to our poor life-style and stress problems. Now from this year onwards we have to take care of our own & family health through regular exercise, healthy diet, Stress management and adequate rest. Its my great pleasure to be the chief guest for this Installation Ceremony of Dr. Sanjay Deshpande as President IMA Nagpur and his team for the year 2014-15. It will be a great opportunity to meet all IMA activists from Nagpur, like Dr. Ashok Adhao Patron & Past National President, IMA HQ, Dr. Milind Naik Vice President IMA Head Quarters New Delhi, Dr. Krishna Parate, Chairperson NPPS and Dr. Anand Kate CoChairperson, State PPS. I wish Dr. Sanjay Deshpande & his team, a grand successful tenure. Jai IMA Dr. Dilip Sarda (President IMA Maharashtra State) intIMAte Volume XXV.....Issue I 13 Guest of Honour Ms. Varsha Usgaonkar (Marathi & Hindi Cine Actress) One of the leading actresses of the Marathi Film Industry, she has been the recipient of the HIGHEST HONOR for an actress in her State – THE STATE AWARD FOR BEST ACTRESS.

Last year we elected all women team to lead us and I am proud to say that they have fulfilled all the responsibilities very well. We started with few numbers, but now every member of medical fraternity welcomes the idea of gender equality and women empowerment. On this occasion of Installation Ceremony of Dr. Sanjay Deshpande as President and his team of office bearers for the year 2014-15, I thank the outgoing team for their tremendous hard work they have done in the last year to see IMA flag fly high. I congratulate and wish all the best for the new incoming team of Nagpur IMA. Long live IMA ! Jai Hind ! Jai IMA ! Yours in IMA Dr. Ashok Adhao Patron intIMAte Volume XXV.....Issue I 15 Message from National Vice President Dr. Milind Naik (Vice President, IMA HQ, Past- President - IMA Maharashtra State) I congratulate President Dr. Sanjay Deshpande, Hon. Secretary Dr. Kush Jhunjhunwala and their team for getting elected unanimously. I also congratulate President elect Dr. Ajay Kate. Outgoing President Dr. Warsha Dhawale, Hon. Secretary Dr. Vaishali Khandait and their team had worked hard to make the tenure successful. New team will have to work with full zeal to go one step ahead of the previous team. I am sure that by their enthusiasm and team work they will full fill the expectations of all IMA members. To promote voting and make awareness among the public at large IMA HQ had given a call to give 25% concession in consulting fee for 7 days from date of polling in their respective constituencies, to those patients who will show voting ink-mark on their finger. I am thankful to all IMA members who have given 25% concession to patients from 10th April to 16th April 2014. Hope for the same cooperation in future. Government of India had decided to formulate 7 year course for MBBS students. Due to strong opposition by IMA, Government of India has to take back their decision. My best wishes to Dr. Sanjay Deshpande, Dr. Kush Jhunjhunwala, Dr. Avinash Wase, Dr. Archana Kothari, Dr. Rafat Khan, Dr. Sarita Ugemuge and Dr. Dilip Arjune. I appeal all the members to work hard for electing our beloved Patron Dr. Ashok Adhao in the forthcoming MCI Elections. Jai Hind. Jai IMA Dr. Milind Naik National Vice- President IMA HQ. 16 intIMAte Volume XXV.....Issue I Message from Chairman, NPPS IMA HQ Dr. Krishna Parate (Chairman, IMA MS PPS & NPPS IMA, HQ) Seasons Greetings I am proud to be witness to this Gala Installation Ceremony of New Team IMA Nagpur 2014-15 led by Dr. Sanjay Deshpande. I am sure that IMA Nagpur Branch will scale new height under the leadership of president Dr. Sanjay Deshpande. The ambitious project of IMA annexe Building will be completed in his tenure under able leadership of Dr. Harish Chandak Past President and Dr. Avinash Wase Vice President. I take this opportunity to congratulate outgoing president Dr. Warsha Dhawale and her team for the successful & eventful year. IMA Nagpur & PPS IMAMS is looking forward for her continued active participation in the coming years. There has been a rise in medico legal complaints in the recent past. Role of responsive management cannot be over emphasized in such situation in thwarting the malicious effort of so called social workers & politicians to gain mileage of tarnish image of professionals. Role of family physician need not be over emphasized in improving doctor patient relationship. The observations of judiciary is that family physician are responsible to see to it that patient carry out investigation and treatment advised by specialist. This needs to be percolated to improve doctor patient relationship. Again wishing you a successful year ahead. Jai IMA Dr. Krishna Parate Chairman, IMA MS PPS & NPPS IMA, HQ intIMAte Volume XXV.....Issue I 17 Message from Chairman, Maharashtra Medical Council Dr. Kishor Taori (Chairman, Maharashtra Medical Council) Indian Medical Association is one of the biggest NGO in the world having over 1700 Branches in the country. Any NGO requires dedicated and committed brand of persons, ready to work for overall welfare of their fellow colleagues. It has to stand to the expectation of society at large and also tune to the strings of modern science and to its dynamics. Indian Medical Association Nagpur Branch since last 5-6 years has risen to such a level that now we have got participation in most of the matters at the National level. This has been made possible by several leaders amongst us, who have their specious time, energy and money for the cause of doctors' welfare. The present issue of crosspathy, clinical establishment Act. and bringing curbs on unethical practices is being tackled very successfully by our IMA soldiers across the generation under the able leadership of Dr. Ashok Adhao. There are several others, who equally committed amongst the junior cadre. I therefore see a very bright future for our branch, wherein the batons are being passed successfully to the younger generations, who are accepting the various challenges posed by the changing norms in various spheres. Under the leadership of Dr. Sanjay Deshpande, the President of IMA and his team, I am sure the vibrance of IMA Branch will grow further, which will inculcate enthusiasm, passion and spirit to work for the society and our doctors' colleagues alike. The latest brain child of IMA Nagpur “Save, Educate and Develop the Girl Child” is praiseworthy and sets the theme for time to come. I am sure the message will go in every corner of Maharashtra for similar commitments towards the society.

THE THINGS YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT INDIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MAHARASHTRA STATE - SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEME Some years ago, the think tank of IMA, Maharashtra State formulated a scheme "IMA - MS Social Security Scheme". Generally, we all have LIC Policies, primarily to cover the risk of premature death & reduction in tax liabilities. The similarity between LIC & the social security scheme ends there. The scheme gives, the tax benefits & covers the risk of premature death of the member. The member has to contribute for 25 years. He will not pay after that. (He will only pay the annual subscription of Rs. 100/-) & he will be a continuous member of the scheme till his/her death. Since the number of members keep rising, the Doctor, who continues in the scheme is also monetarily benefitted. He DOES NOT contribute anything then, but benefit amount keeps on rising, proportionate to the increasing number of membership of the scheme. The money collected in the scheme is invested only in financial institutions allowed by the Charity Commissioner. - The scheme was launched on 1 st October 1990 - The membership as on 31 st March 2014:6645 In the year 2014-15 the nominees of each of expired members will be paid Rs. 4,23,000/within few days of getting information of the death. HOW DOES THE SCHEME WORK? Eligibility: Life member of IMAfrom Maharashtra State up to the age of 60 years. Rules for benefit: Benefit of Fraternity Contribution of the scheme is available after completion of one year of membership of IMA - MS - S.S.S. However nominee of member is entitled for such benefits if death of member occurs in accident even within one year of joining the scheme. A doctor wishing enrollment pays Rs. 1,000/- as advance fraternity contribution, which is returned (without any interest) after 25 years or upon death, whichever is earlier. The admission fees are paid according to the age bracket (see the table). The date of registration shall be on the acceptance of the documents and contributions as per the schedule, subject to realization of cheque/DD. Incomplete documents will result in delay in enrollment. Every year annual membership fee of Rs. 100/- will have to be paid by all the members, in addition, at the end of the year of the scheme, a demand note is sent to every member. The demand is of Rs. 100/- per death that had occurred in the last year. This money is known as "Fraternity Fund Contribution" (FFC). Rs. 70/- of this is paid to the nominee of the deceased member & Rs. 30/- goes to form a Corpus. The interest on this corpus will take care of the FFC payment of the doctors who have survived 25 years in the scheme and are not needed to contribute thereafter. All the nominees of deceased members during 2014-15 will be paid death claim Rs. 4,23,000/- intIMAte Volume XXV.....Issue I 33 FOR EACH OF US IT IS A SMALL STEP, BUT FOR OUR DEPENDANTS IT WILL BE GREAT HELP.

No scheme either of investive or non-investive nature can give such benefits by any imagination or calculation. Greater success depends on more & more participation. I appeal all non member friends to join both these scheme and contribute to revitalise the future of so many unfortunate family members of our doctor brethren whom we want to help. By paying merely Rs. 100/- we can help families of our fellow colleagues and we could thus have satisfaction of fulfilling our social bond. Young members, do not over look the security of family, thinking we are too young to die. Mishaps & Deaths can occur any time unpredictably. DR. ASHISH DISAWAL Chairman, INSURANCE SCHEME, IMA, NAGPUR M: 9822302500 DR. PRASHANT NIKHADE MANAGING COMMITTEE MEMBER IMA MS State M:98222 21938 MOTIVATE ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN IMA & IMA'S SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEMES - LONG LIVE IMA 36 intIMAte Volume XXV.....Issue I LETTER OF APPEAL FOR JOINING HBI Dear Member / Nursing home or Hospital owner / Doctor, etc. Greetings from IMA Nagpur Branch…!!!! It is with great pleasure that we announce the formation of the Hospital Board of India (HBI) – Maharashtra State. As you are aware, there has been no organized body so far to look after the interests of Hospitals and Nursing homes at a State & National level. The issues pertaining to the healthcare establishments have become increasingly complex and have aggravated in variety and intensity. These include infrastructural, legislative administrative, financial and sheer logistics. In view of this, an urgent need to form a Body like HBI was felt and IMA MS has taken the initiative. Undoubtedly, the leadership in healthcare delivery has slowly and steadily been passing into the hands of entrepreneurs of all backgrounds and the medical profession is at risk of being relegated to the sidelines. The pre-eminent and dominant position of medical professionals in this vital sector needs to be redefined and emphasized. Some of the objectives of HBI are: ? To assist and equip all healthcare institutions to provide quality healthcare by various means, including Accreditation. ? To represent and safeguard the interests of all healthcare institutions and their personnel, ? To monitor and intervene in all legislations regarding hospitals being considered by the Parliament or State legislatures. ? To represent and negotiate on behalf of the hospitals, issues of concern to hospitals, with Governments and other appropriate National and International authorities. ? To develop, adapt and endorse standards and protocols for hospital services. Since the HBI has been constituted at the National level and the Maharashtra State level but this institution cannot flourish unless the organization is strengthened at the branch level. Hence it is imperative that we also start the Nagpur Chapter of HBI and enroll as many members as possible so that the benefits which are to be accrued because of that trickle down to all the members. It is our great pleasure to announce the formation of Nagpur Chapter of Hospital Board of India and extend to you an invitation to become a member of HBI and help fulfill the above objectives by making HBI a strong and effective Body. We enclose herewith the enrolment form and other details. In case of any clarifications you are welcome to contact us. Enclosing the membership forms. With best wishes and looking forward to your early response. Yours sincerely, Dr. Sanjay Deshpande President, IMA Nagpur Dr. Anand Kate Chairman, HBI, Nagpur intIMAte Dr. Kush Jhunjhunwala Hon.

Secretaries IMA Local Branches Dear friends, In today's day and age, all of us want to have a safe and trouble free practice. It is the duty of the IMA to present before you certain ethical and legal points about running of pathology laboratories in private practice. Some members of IMA are either running in house Pathology Laboratories in their hospitals with the help of technicians or referring their patients to the laboratories independently run by technicians. The Medical Council of India has clearly stated that Pathology, being a part of modern scientific medicine, the practice of the same is permissible only to registered medical practitioners with post graduate qualifications in pathology. The Hon. High court of Mumbai has passed an interim order in PIL No. 28/2005 on 10/10/2007, which clearly states that only a qualified pathologist recognized by MMC or MCI (MD Pathology & DCP) can certify pathology laboratory reports. No person with any other qualification is entitled to practice Pathology. Person with qualifications of DMLT, MLT, CMLT, BSc, MSc Medical Biochemistry, PhD Biochemistry cannot certify Pathology reports. If the Doctor refers patients to an illegal laboratory and treats the patients relying on those reports, it is breach of Code of Medical Ethics. In such cases, MCI can take disciplinary action against the respective doctor. In case of any complications during treatment, the court may find doctors 'illegal ab initio' guilty of negligence, if reports from illegal laboratories have been accepted. What this means is that if the first act itself is illegal, all other subsequent acts need not be taken into consideration. Reports from illegal labs are not admissible for medical insurance claims. If patient goes to consumer forum, both technician who runs illegal lab and the doctor referring patient to such a lab are liable for payment of compensation. There are cases where doctors had to pay compensation and MMC has taken action against these doctors for breach of medical code of ethics. (Ref. Washim consumer forum). It is the duty of the pathologist to personally supervise the process of testing and then authenticate the reports. Pathologists are responsible for the reports which bear their signature & hence they should personally supervise & authenticate the reports with due diligence. Dr. Rakesh Bhatnagar was found guilty by Delhi Medical Council of giving his name to multiple laboratories. His registration was temporarily suspended. The Indian Medical Association has always strived to uphold the highest ethical standards of the medical profession. We hope every member understands the above mentioned points and implements the same in their practice. The Association will not be in a position to help members in any way if they are found guilty of supporting and associating themselves with illegal laboratories.
