OUR HEADQUARTERS. OUR HONOUR. OUR RESPONSIBILITY. With a family of over 4 lakh doctors , it is neither necessary nor befitting for the Indian Medical Association to depend on non-medical organizations or others to build its Headquarters in the nation's capital. This is our institution, our identity, and our legacy. The new IMA Headquarters is not merely a building of brick and concrete—it is a monument to the dignity, unity, and collective strength of the medical profession. Let every member contribute voluntarily, according to their capacity . Even a humble contribution of ₹1,000 is not just a donation—it is an expression of gratitude to the Association that has stood by doctors through every challenge. Let us not ask, "Who will build the IMA?" Let history record that we built it—together. One Member. One Contribution. One Legacy.
