TRANSCRIPT
Dear Doctor,
At the outset we wish to bring greetings from the Indian Orthopaedic Association (IOA)
As you are aware, we will be observing the National Bone and Joint Day for the fifth successive year. Year after year, the Orthopaedic fraternity has been involving itself in the activities to the best of their abilities. We also understand that the activities mean a lot to not just the Orthopaedic Surgeons but to the general public as well.
In order to create more awareness to the general public about the various social initiatives we have been taking in the interest of the Society, this year we have proposed to observe the year’s theme as ‘One Member – One Free Surgery’. We propose to perform at least 5000 surgeries on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of August 2016 across the Country.
You may also appreciate that this has never been done in any country; therefore we have proposed to create a New World record for “Highest number of Free Orthoapedic Surgeries, India, 3-‐5 August, 2016’ to commemorate with the Bone and Join Day, 4th August. I’m also happy to inform you that the record has been listed in the World Record Academy facebook page for your reference.
In this regard I wish to inform you that we have now come to the last lap which is the sprint. So I request each and every one of you to kindly put your entire focus on the Bone and joint day 2016, organise pre event camps to identify cases and ensure we achieve a large number of free surgeries for the World record.
In order to simplify matters Dr Dhirendra Singh and Dr Raja Ravi Varma have been putting their best efforts and separate Instructions and guide lines will be issued.
For easy co-‐ordination, Dr. C. Raja Ravi Varma will be in charge of Andhra, Karnataka, Kerala, Pondy, Tamilnadu and Telengana.
Dr. Dhirendra Singh and dr. Ashok Vij shall be incharge of all the Norhtern States
Dr. Snajay Jain shall coordinate with States in the Central Zone
Until and unless each and every one of you lend your unstinted support IOA will find it difficult to achieve this feat. So please initiate necessary action in this regard.
Thanking you, regards,
s/d
(Prof. Sudhir Kapoor)
