MESSAGE FROM SECRETARY

Dr. Ajoy Kumar

Secretary

Dear Friends,

Warm wishes from the Computer and Medical Informatics Chapter of IAP.

It is my proud privilege to be taking over as Secretary of this chapter in 2023. We have seen it start as the Computer and Medical Electronics Group, and grow over the years, thanks to our illustrious past Chairpersons and Secretaries, and have now received recognition of our work in the form of a Consolation Award from IAP.

The pandemic of 2020 put an embargo on physical activities, including meetings and even clinical consultations. This highlighted the value of the digital world with Webinars and Online Consultations becoming a norm. Our Digital Infonars have been very popular, thanks to the efforts of Dr Sanjeev Goel, Dr Samir Shah, Dr Jagdish Chinnappa, Dr Naveen Kini, etc and we promise to continue with the series in this year.

Another major achievement this year has been an updated IAP Drug Formulary 2.0. The highlight of this new modified version is its availability in the offline mode and very elaborate and clear details. Dr Jeeson Unni needs a special mention for carrying on with this herculean task for the past 16 years!

We request all our supporters to become members of CMIC and strengthen our hands. We request each member to get one friend to join CMIC. Let us all work together to take the CMIC to greater heights.

Wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous New Year 2023.

Jai CMIC. Jai IAP.

Always yours

Dr. Ajoy Kumar

Secretary
