Dear Colleagues,

It is my privilege to interact with you through May 2018 issue of the e-

Newsletter.

I am glad to inform you that in order to update the knowledge and

skills of the members on Fetal Radiology, IRIA has planned to

organize one day CME programs on the theme of Fetal Radiology

across the country. The first such program was organized by IRIA

HQ on 13th May, 2018 at IRIA House, New Delhi. A total of 196

delegates including Faculty attended the CME, which was a grand

success. Dr. T.B.S. Buxi, National Coordinator for Resident

Education and Dr. Rijo Mathew, In-charge for CMEs on Fetal

Radiology along with Dr. Pankaj Sharma were the members of the

core team of Organizing Committee for this CME program, who

deserve a special appreciate for organizing a very successful CME at

IRIA House with no extra burden to IRIA HQ. Dr. Rijo Mathew has

suggested to organize 20 such programs nationwide this year. He

has also suggested a road map on this matter which is under

consideration.

A delegation of IRIA consisting of Dr. Mohanan K., President and Dr.

C. Amarnath, Secretary General, IRIA along with Dr. Parveen Gulati,

Senior Member from Delhi had a meeting with Director PNDT- Ms.

Bindu Sharma and Ms. Vandana Gurnani, Joint Secretary (PNDT),

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India on 25th April,

2018 at Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi.

The following issues related to PC & PNDT were discussed in the

meeting:

(i). The main issues discussed were the decoy operations in

Rajasthan and harassment of Radiologists and demanded

intervention of Central Govt. for a fair and honest enquiry and to give

permission to the alleged Doctors to practice as they are not

convicted.

(ii). Urgent modification of the rules for decriminalization of minor

errors like not wearing apron, non display of notice board and minor

clerical errors in Form F etc. was also discussed. From Govt. side it

was requested to submit details of the punishments or harassments

with evidences so that the whole issue will be taken up by the Health

Ministry in a convincing manner.

We have written to the State Chapter Presidents and Secretaries and

also to the Members to send the proof of harassments/punishments

on the matter as mentioned above so that the same may be submitted

to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India.

(iii). Implementation of the recent Supreme Court Judgment was

also emphasized and JS said that they have already written to all the

State Authorities and they will once again send communication to all

concerned authorities on this matter on priority basis.

(iv). Online submission of Form F, IRIA as permanent member in

CSB, reports of committees on Do’s and Don’ts and FAQ, pending TA

of NIMC Members and other relevant matters were also discussed at

length.

(v). Both the meetings were very fruitful and Director PNDT and

Joint Secretary appeared positive.

The next CCM has been fixed on 22nd July, 2018 at IRIA House, New

Delhi. It has also been proposed to have a one to one meeting, on

21st July evening, with state chapter Presidents & Secretaries

regarding functioning of state chapters of IRIA and problem being

faced by them for an appropriate solution. All the state chapter

Presidents and Secretaries are requested to note the same.

Necessary invite shall be sent in due course of time.

With best wishes, Yours sincerely,

Dr. Mohanan K., President, IRIA
