Dear Fellows, Members & friends

As I step into the role of Indian IRC South Zone chair, I feel it is a truly a privilege bestowed on me. When I started my career in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in England I was bowled over by the meticulous clinical guidance provided during the training & I always wanted to implement the same in my Country.

As Fellows & Members of RCOG, let us foster an environment of collaboration, knowledge sharing & continuous upliftment in women's health care.

Key focused areas I would be giving due diligence to are midwifery education, workplace behavior & inculcating the transition of skill learning for budding obstetricians.

Course modules as South Zone Committee we are in the process of implementing Professional development in communicative skills as a Video webinar and Safe abortion care. In person course module on Advanced Obstetrics Skills in association with Critical Care Society & also on gynaecological emergencies.

We had an excellent South Zone Annual conference in association with ATNRCOG in the month of January & highlights would be shared by Dr Uma Ram as outgoing IRC SZ chair & incoming IRC All India Chair.

I look forward to the full-fledged support of all the five star states to carry forward my thoughts.

Wishing you all a wonderful & fruitful year ahead.
