From The Heart

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

Wishing you all the best for the new year !!

It is time for A. G Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd yearly CME again & we are pleased to announce the dates – 2nd March (Saturday) & 3rd March (Sunday) 2024.

This year the theme is “Role of the Laboratory in Gynaecology & Reproductive Medicine”. The woman is the binding force of every family & the society. Today’s women face many health challenges whilst maintaining a work life balance. We will cover various aspects such as the silent epidemic of PCOS in young girls & the growing concern of infertility. As women are aspiring to be mothers after settling into their careers, the need for assisted reproduction & ensuring a healthy baby is growing. With increased life expectancy, the dreaded cancer catches up with more & more women every year. The CME will highlight the role of the Clinical Laboratory in diagnosis, prognosis & monitoring of many of these conditions.

The highlight of the CME are the two orations:

  • Dr. Venkatesh Thuppil , “The Lead man of India” will deliver IMA Pune Dr. Ajit Golwilkar Memorial Oration: “Lead Toxicity in India- Impact & Challenges” . He will take us through the menace of lead toxicity in today’s industrialized world & journey of lead testing in India with use of various technologies for the same.
  • Dr. Girdhar Gyani – “The Chanakya of Quality in Healthcare” will deliver Dr. Jayant Abhyankar Memorial Oration: “Quality Movement in India - Genesis to Fruition” .

We are sure you all will register & participate in large numbers & there will be interesting learning over the two days.

Our team is excited to see you all again & we will make all efforts to offer a comfortable & rich academic experience.

Yours Sincerely,
Organizing Committee.
