Passing
On The Baton
After spearheading Centre for Enquiry into Health and Allied
Themes (CEHAT) for six-long years as the co-ordinator, which
took the NGO from strength to strength, Ravi Duggal had recently
opted out of his demanding job to work as an independent researcher.
His ties with CEHAT would be as a consultant now. He spoke
to Rita Dutta about his years in CEHAT, the reasons for leaving
his current position and his plans ahead.
Donning
A New Mantle
Dr Bipin Pandit has recently assumed the position of the President
of the Association of Medical Consultants (AMC), an apex body
of 5, 500 medical consultants from different specialities.
A gynaecologist by profession, Dr Pandit took the reins from
Dr Suresh Rao. This is his second term; the earlier was in
2003.
Being
The Rare One
Senior Consultant for ENT, Head & Neck Surgeon of KKR
ENT Hospital & Research Institute, Chennai, Dr Ravi Ramalingam
was recently conferred with the much sought-after Fellowship
of Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS), Glasgow, without even
appearing for the conventional test.
Addressing
Ignorance
Rather than just bemoaning lack of awareness about preventive
genetics in healthcare professionals and the public, Mumbai-based
clinical geneticist Dr Sharad Gogate has compiled and edited
a book on the same topic.
The
Ultimate Recognition
Head of the Ob-Gynaec Dept of Rajawadi Hospital, Mumbai, Dr
Prakash Trivedi has recently bagged the prestigious FOGSI
Scientific Corion Award in the senior category for the best
research work for his innovative design and technique used
for female urinary leak.
