PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
21st June, 2019
On this 5th International Yoga Day I wish all the members a healthy physique with a sound peaceful mind!
On behalf of our society we strongly condemn the inhuman behavior meted out to our medical fraternity in West Bengal. We hope that peace and justice prevails so that the noble profession of Medicine returns to its glory that has started fading away in the last few years. Let us hope for a better time since after a dark night, the dawn has to usher in happiness!
Once again it is time to remind all our friends to get ready for the 14th annual conference of our society. Dr. Manoj Jain and Dr. Vinita Agarwal have set an exciting stage ready for all of us at Lucknow from 11th to 13th October 2019 post-Dussehra. This will take us back to nostalgic memory lane of the first meeting when our society was born at SGPGI in March 2005 with the vision and efforts of Prof. R.K. Gupta. It will be a special privilege for all of us to have Prof. Surya Seshan with us at Lucknow to share with us those cherished moments! The “ISRTP family” is emerging strong and cohesive, as envisioned by him and many senior members like Prof. Kusum Joshi from Chandigarh.
After our first successful attempt of reviewing the Indian scenario of IgA nephropathy, this time the focus will be on Lupus nephritis in India. Suggestions and inputs from all the members and advisers are welcome for this event. The program has been very well designed and contains topics of interest for one and all like infections and kidney, trouble shooting in native and allograft biopsies, reporting, podocytopathies, diabetic nephropathy, and graft pathology. This conference will give an opportunity to the young aspirants in the field to absorb the traditional teachings and break the tenets to carve out new thought process. We also have a chance of meeting experts in the field like Helen Liapis from Washington University School of Medicine, Ingeborg Bajema from Leiden University, and Joseph Gaut from Washington University School Of Medicine in St. Louis along with our old mentor and friend Prof. Surya Seshan from Cornell, NY. I look forward for an enthusiastic participation from all.
