MESSAGE FROM PAST PRESIDENT

Respected Senior members and Dear friends,

The world is passing through a very difficult and tough times of Pandemic of Covid 19 virus. The whole

planet is standstill. We all are staying in lockdown. I pray to The Almighty, to The God that soon

everything would be alright.

Friends, I was President of IMA Nashik in 2006-07.But then, I was most happy, when I become President

of this prestigious organization of surgeons. Nashik Surgical Society in last April.

Gone are the days when patients would say to Doctors “You are the best judge”. Now patients would

know the different options available to them and would be tempted to take their own decisions.

Technology has arrived in surgical arena in a very big way in a short time. Many options are now

available in treating surgical disease from Open surgery to laparoscopy and now Robotic surgery. Old is

not always Gold and everything at the cutting edge is not the last word. We must continually study the

pros and cons, the efficacy of old and new before discarding the old and embracing the new.

With the introduction of technology, the cost of health care has increased. At the same time, We Doctors,

would be tempted to do defensive medicine to keep off legal threats. That is how the spiral of cost in

today's health care system has gone up.

Keeping up all these new challenges to surgical fraternity in mind, the members of executive committee

have focused on academic activities. We have designed the calendar of year 2019-20 in such a way that it

will cover all these aspects and clinical subjects.

During my tenure, I have tried to deliver the best to NSS. You all have witnessed it. Our Secretary

Dr.Kailash Mogal has summarised all academic and social activities conducted in this year in his report.

This was appreciated at state as well as at national level. Maharashtra state chapter of ASI has acclaimed

it and has declared as the "Best City Chapter" in the presence of President of ASI, Padmashree awardee

Dr. Raghu Ram.

It is my duty to express my sincere thanks to Secretary Dr. Kailash Mogal and Treasurer Dr.Swapnil

Parakh as well as all the members of executive committee.They stood by my side throughout the year to

make each and every activity successful.

I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to Dr. Pramod Shinde who has always been with me. I also express

my sincere thanks to Dr. Narayan Sonawane, Dr. Malegaonkar, Dr. Upadhye, Dr.Govind Kulkarni,

,Dr.Vilekar, Dr.Bhamre, Dr.Nagarkar,Dr Nehete, Dr.Advay Aher who helped me a lot.

While doing this job, if I have hurt anybody unknowingly apologize. What I can say is that it was

unintentional if at all.

As a member, I will always be available to serve Nashik Surgical Society. I assure you all that I am in

touch with MMC to get accreditation to NSS for academic programmes.Soon it will be done.

Once again, I express my sincere thanks to all the members. I wish all the best to President Dr.

Nandkishor Katore, Secretary Dr. Swapnil Parakh and team.

Long Live NSS!!

Dr.Mahesh Malu.

PAST SECRETARY’S ADDRESS

It is with outmost humility, pride and a sense of satisfaction that I write this message as we come

to the end of our tenure. Our team headed by President Dr. Mahesh Malu, resumed office in

April 2019. It was a big task to continue the good work of NSS which our previous teams had

accomplished. We could see the determination in our president’s eyes to fulfill a vision he had

for NSS, and we all decided to work towards it.

Over the last one year, we conducted 20 CMEs which included 2 Regional CMEs, 2 social

camps and 1 GBM. We had our prestigious Dr. Vasantrao Pawar oration by Dr. Vinay

Mehendale, along with felicitations of senior NSS members. We could also launch our first

official newsletter due to the untiring efforts of Dr. Dilesh Bharambe. WE also went about the

work of relaunching and updating our official NSS website. On the Charity Commissioners

office front, we accomplished a few advances as well, like, submission of change reports and

completing long pending formalities like updation of our official members list, etc. Our efforts

round the year paid off and NSS was awarded the “Best Chapter Award” in Masicon 2020 at

Amravati.

To sum up, I enjoyed my tenure as secretary under the able leadership of our President Dr.

Mahesh Malu and learnt quite a few things from him. We had a dynamic treasurer in Dr. Swapnil

Parakh who stood by me in all situations. I also thank the Executive Committee of NSS who

were always there for all the help, support and guidance. Last but not the least I thank all my

teachers in NSS amd the entire NSS family for bearing with me.

I wish the new team of President Dr. Nandkishor Katore, Secretary Dr. Swapnil Parakh and

treasurer Dr. Vishal Pawar, all the very best for the ensuing year.

Thank you

Dr Kailash Mogal.
