    • CE bill which has became an ACT” should   be challenged in high courts of various states, even before the drafting of Rules& regulations by the govt.
    • Anti-quackery: revision petitions can be filed in high courts of various states to implement anti-quackery acts effectively.
    • Stipulating “practically implement able minimum norms” for various categories of health care establishments and Formulating the   universal diagnostic and therapeutic protocols for management of various diseases by getting in liaison with quality council of India,NABL and NABH .       
    • we have to work in tandem with American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) in imparting BLS & ALS training to our members nation wide.
    • IMA should conceive one project aimed at sensitizing and screening for non-communicable disease spectrum.
    • IMA should act as responsible stake holder in revamping the education and examination system of national board of examinations (NBE).
    • Plan and allocate sufficient funding to achieve our aim of paper less office and  for making our web site more inter active and to provide reasonable  edutainment for young doctors.

    As chairman of standing comt of IMA IT, i forwarded  My views: 

    1.online enrolment of lifemembership
    2.online registration of all life members in our web site
    3. creating data bank of details of all life members.
    4.interactive web design

    6. TELECONFERENCE  of office bearers and standing comt.members.

    The following are few important issues to make our future  agenda for discussion and deliberations to effectively strengthen our association as important stake holder of our country’s health systems.

    1. What is the opinion over the NCHRH- a super arching body over the councils of health systems?
    2. How can the IMA mould the govt in bringing the single window system for all taxations, permissions and regulations?
