2019 Incoming President Dr. Neelam Aggarwal
Concluding Message by Outgoing President Dr. Ratnabali C.
Moving on is the only thing constant in life but moving on is not that easy. It has been a year, I have
played my part as the President of Indian Menopause Society. In this 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months
I have been constantly trying to do something new, achieve something cumulatively & now when I
look back what I see is a few achievements & a lot of opportunities.
I believe, as IMS President, the Public Awareness Programmes among all my achievements is close
to my heart, the most. I have been fortunate enough to be able to reach out to the Minister of Ayush,
Department of GOI for their association with us & publication of POISE. With this programme we
have trained 8000+ women in Yoga & Meditation. We were also conducting free health clinic &
check ups for the mass. Along with this I have pushed myself for the continuing medical education.
We have took special care for international exposure and made ourselves visible at International
Menopause Society. I have also collaborated with Indian Medical Association, Diabetic Association
of India, Geriatric Society of India, and Cardiology Society of India. The more hands we hold, the
more opportunities we make. I have tried to make the IMSCON paperless hence all the
communication have been made on E-basis. I strongly believe, root is important. Our thoughts, our
work should carry forward those earliest words of passion and courage. Hence, 1995-2018... THE
YESTERDAYS of Today. Now I've handed over my baton to someone more competent in my eyes
Dr. Neelam Aggarwal. I am sure she will take our vision to another level of success.
Before I leave...

I have loved every experience of IMS. I have loved it so much that I will hide it in my heart as
souvenir! So that I can go back to the pages again and again. Through this whole experience, can't
remember how many times I told myself to hold onto these moments as they passed. Anyway! those
are not going anywhere. All the more reason why I should. Though I console myself by saying that
the pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again. Don't be dismayed at Goodbyes, a
farewell is necessary before we can meet again and meeting again after moments or lifetimes, is
certain for friends.
Lastly as they say - "Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory".
