FAIMA appoints Dr Rohan Krishnan as new President

Dr Krishnan has been associated with FAIMA since the time of its creation. He also served as the Vice President of FAIMA previously.

Dr Rohan is the senior resident doctor of the Post Graduate Insitute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) and ESIC Hospital. Dr Rohal has completed his MBBS from a medical college in Bangalore. He completed his internship at Patna Medical College. He pursued his MD from Delhi and he was the gold medalist of Delhi University (orthopedics).

Talking to Medical Dialogues, Dr Krishnan stated, " FAIMA has always been dedicated to safeguard the interest of the medical professionals. I am glad that I have been associated with the association for years and now I am elected as the president."

When questioned about his future plans for FAIMA, Dr Rohan said, " First I will concentrate to resolve the issues of maternal leaves. While serving their residency the DNB students often face the problem to avail maternal leaves. The authorities should introduce a proper procedure for granting maternal leave."

The doctor further added, " We will also raise voice against the incidents of violence against the medical professionals. Considering the scarcity of manpower and the tremendous work pressure during the COVID, any act of violence against the doctors must b prevented at all costs. Moreover, the doctors should have a fixed timeline. Though the Supreme court already stated that the doctors should have a fixed time of working it is hardly followed. The basic requirements of the doctors should be fulfilled."
