The Task Space

Dear FOGSIANS,

If you want to walk the untrodden path, if you want to dream BIG, if you want the organisation to take risks, if you want to have conviction, if you want to go against the conventional wisdom, if you want to take tough decisions – then the opportunity lies in occupying FOGSI Leadership Posts and having the courage to accept the TASK of turning the Vision of our President into a Reality.

I have had the courage to make a commitment to take on the position of “TASK MASTER” because I believe that a plausible impossibility is better than a convincing possibility! As I am just beginning to understand the magnitude of the tasks, I have the fullest faith in the FOGSIANs in various task groups, as much trust that I have in our President who has mooted this idea.

In the first phase, we assign ourselves with the following five tasks for brainstorming deliberations and to pave the path for further tasks in future.

n WORK ALLOTED TO CHAIRPERSONS – Task force to guide, monitor and evaluate and synergise the efforts by and within various committees of FOGSI.

n To review the conduct of Managing Committee Meetings and take inputs from experienced seniors and fresh views from youngsters – to make the process time-effective.

n To draw up a realistic syllabus for PG course for five days / Faculty pool / CDs or work book materials / Exam rehearsals / Online upgradation and follow ups / Online practice exams and practice sessions and peer group review with model answers.

n Liaison with State and National governments to assist them to lay out the policies on matters related to women’s health.

n Vision and implementation of Public Private Partnership Modules to strengthen the public health systems.

Our commitment to openness and fairness is exemplified by the famous adage

“In God we trust, everybody else brings data to the table”

More in our next issue

Watch this space!

The theme of the year “Reaching the unreached” is taken up seriously by the office bearers and chairpersons of committee of FOGSI, under

the able guidance of our President, Dr. Sanjay Gupte. Excellent idea! I want to bring to your kind notice only one part of the theme in this issue and that is how to reach FOGSI Members? When I was looking at the details of Presidents & Secretaries of our member bodies, many had not mentioned PINCODES, few had not mentioned mobile numbers and their e-mail ids. How do you expect FOGSI to reach their members if this vital information is not provided? We have realized that few of the Presidents / Secretaries and Chairpersons do not open their emails regularly, because we do not get the response from them for weeks. I personally feel that the only way FOGSI can reach important members is by sending SMS when an urgent message has to be informed. We have worked out the nity gritty of the same and we want to implement it now. I am sure, the person getting SMS will atleast see it on the same day and respond. This will be our first step towards Reaching the Unreached FOGSI Members. I humbly request you to send your MOBILE numbers & email ids to local societies and the Presidents & Secretaries of Member bodies of FOGSI should pass on this information to FOGSI office. We can hold FOGSI election via Mobile phones! Please think and respond positively. If we have mobile numbers of all the Members, they will get the information from FOGSI office at a click of a button. Long live FOGSI. The rest of it in forthcoming issues.

Dr. P.K. Shah

Reaching out to the Members

History was created in the Punjab, on Valentine’s Day, when Dr. Sanjay Gupte’s Inaugural workshop on Assisted Vaginal Delivery turned out to be a

triumphant FOGSI event, organized by Dr. Parag Biniwale and (Jalandhar Society President) Amita Sharma. This was to be the first FOGSI AVD workshop in recent times, but would our younger members, preoccupied with ‘modern’ high tech subjects, bother to attend?

The answer was a resounding ‘yes!’ with 143 delegates streaming in from all over this frontier state. Considering that Jalandhar FOGSI has a total membership of 160, the delegate strength was simply amazing! Old war horse Avtar

A Workshop to Remember…

Dr. Behram S. Anklesairia Singh Saini of Amritsar led a contingent of young FOGSI members from rural and urban areas. Elders like Drs. Sushma Chawla and Kamal Gupta looked extremely pleased at the success of their hard work. News papers, the next day widely appreciated FOGSI’s efforts towards Vaginal delivery promotion in the midst of sky rocketing C.S. rates.

The morning began with a thought provoking Presidential message from Dr. Sanjay Gupte. I followed with my presentation on ‘ECV Revisited.’ Dr. Parag Biniwale covered medico legal aspects and led boisterous and active audience participation. Dr. Machave gave very practical tips on Vacuum Delivery. But the star of the day was forceps Icon Dr. S. Nargolkar. He showed us his masterly New forceps video and charmed young and old with his delightful insights on the modern relevance of a long neglected topic.

Rare collection of Forceps & Vacuum devices were exhibited for members to see.

Maternal Mortality in India – a FOGSI Survey

Dear Colleague,

FOGSI is conducting the survey of Maternal Deaths in our country. The data form will reach you soon, both by e-mail and by post. We are all toiling day and night to save our mothers. In spite of our best efforts, we are continuing to face the tragedy of maternal deaths and it is important for us to know “Why Mothers Die” in our Country! Kindly spare few minutes from your busy schedule and complete the datasheet summarizing trends in maternal mortality in your institution. It is important to send the number of deliveries even if there are no maternal deaths.

Dr. P.K. Sekharan

You must be aware that the theme of FOGSI for this year is “Reaching the Unreached”. It always reminds me about interaction in many AICOG,

where FOGSIANs ask me what FOGSI is doing for a common gynecologist! Aim of this years theme is to focus on the unreached public and common gynecologists. As there are so many baseline problems related to Obstetrics & Gynecology in our country which we are not yet able to approach. These areas are high maternal mortality, anemia, eclampsia, PPH, APH and oncology especially advanced

cancer cervix. If we can concentrate on these targeted problems as for example correcting anemia, preventing eclampsia & PPH, encouraging institutional delivery and focusing on awareness regarding screening for cancer cervix; we can certainly decrease MMR.

For FOGSIAN we should do certain things. There are so many controversies regarding many surgical procedures starting from episiotomy, MTP, Vaccum & Forceps, CS, TAH, NDVH, Ward Mayo’s operation, laparoscopic procedures and internal illiac ligation. With this in mind we have designed the workshop on Safe Surgical Practices in OBGYN.

It also is important to detect cancer cervix in its early stages. For this, I appeal to all the FOGSIANs to pergorm at least speculum examination routinely. It also is essential that we perfect our knowledge about basics of OBGYN and surgical anatomy.

At the end we can only progress when we can realise.

“Coming together is beginning.

Keeping together is progress.

Working together is success.”

Dr. Tushar Kar

The President’s news letter is an endeavor to reach out to the members of FOGSI. Reaching

the Unreached initiative of our President has a wide encompassing meaning. From reaching out, to the unreached patients, to reaching out to the members to reaching the unreached goals. These all can be extrapolated not only at the national level but at each individual member level too. Within the purview of our reach and practice one can practice reaching the unreached as a new mantra to achieve that we desire.

It is with great pleasure I bring this communication from the president to you all my friends. This way you will be kept

Editorial

The most easy and doable ones are the research projects. They are simple and a part of your everyday clinical work. If you find that you wish to design something else you can very well do so. The projects have already been planned and you can participate as a nodal participant.

Please feel free to contact for any assistance and information you need regards the President’s program. I promise all that I can do in my humble capacity. Your inputs and opinions to the newsletter are appreciated

Warm regards,
