ACHIEVEMENTS OF DOSST

Members of  DOSST (Doctors Opposing Sex Selected Termination) cell,  reached out to the public in different areas of the city today through Dushehra melas. The aim of DOSST public awareness programs is to sensitize the people in the community about ill effects of female sex selection techniques and sex selected abortions.

Banners of DOSST emphasizing gender equality were put up at melas in Jamalpur, Udham Singh Nagar, Kitchlu Nagar, Aggar Nagar, Rishi Nagar, Shimlapuri, Dugri and Geeta Mandir on Pakhowal Road.

Dr Ajay Aggarwal, Dr Naveen Pereira, Dr Deepak Bansal, Dr Anakhvir Gill, Dr Rajeev Garg and Dr Neelam Sodhi addressed the public at different places emphasizing that a change in attitude of society towards this issue will actually make an impact to control the declining sex ratio in the region. Messages from the doctors were well received by the public.

The different committees organizing the Dushehra melas have expressed their interest in joining hands with the DOSST cell to make the “Save the Girl Child” campaign more effective.

For a soon-to-be-born, the womb is like a home. Comfortable, safe, secure- and nurturing too. For nine long months, it provides the baby with everything it needs to step put into the big wide world outside…

…. So let’s give that feeling to our baby that it is not the sex of the baby which decides whether the womb will accept the baby with loving arms or kill it

TAKE HOME MESSAGE DOSST is the NEED of the HOUR

seeing the falling sex ration and its ill effects, its important that we all join our hands to prevent this social evil and make our society a healthy place to live in………

I would definitely request all present here to be a part of it and help DOSST reach its zenith

At last I would end by saying……. SAVE THE GIRL…. TO SAVE THE

WORLD

Dear Dr. Neelam,Congratulations to you for organizing a workshop on PCPNDT act & MTP

act on 3rd June at Ludhiana. And I also congratulate you on keeping the DOSST cell active.

It is the time for us to keep on creating awareness regarding these acts amongst our members.

It is important that we also should share the responsibility of self-regulation & more important this will give opportunity for ethical practitioners to stand up & be counted. At the same time due to either ignorance of the law or not knowing implications of our small mistakes like not filling of the forms; our members get in trouble unnecessarily. This workshop will provide them appropriate guidance.

The appropriate authorities also should follow the code of conduct given in the law & not look at every doctor as their enemy. Hence combined workshops like this will help putting together our might in fighting the

main evil i.e. sex selected terminations.Wish you all the success !!Dr. Sanjay GuptePast president FOGSIConvener National PCPNDT cell FOGSI

of the World

FEMALE FOETICIDE : THE EVIL IN INDIA

Women is the most beautiful creation of god…

Mother : Divinity Daughter : Innocence

Sister : Care Friend : Warmth Beloved : Passion Wife : Dedication

WHY DONT ANYONE THINKS THAT

IF HIS/HER MOTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED

THEN FROM WHERE HE/SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS WORLD.

I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT ITS A GIRL WHO IN FUTURE BRINGS A NEW LIFE IN THIS WORLD,

WHETHER THE BOY OR GIRL

.SO WHY KILLING HER?

HOW CAN ANYONE CUT THE TREE ON WHICH YOU GET FRUITS AND

HOW CAN ANYONE SPOIL THE LAND THAT GIVES YOU FOOD THAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE?

Save the disappearing girl child.

They form “The Nation”

Think, what we return for

their services…

Killing them in the

“womb”

Are people of world stone hearted ???

emotions & your touch

Girls are not for garbage’s…
