My dear Friends & Colleagues,
At the outset, I sincerely apologize for the delay in bringing out this issue of ‘IMAGE’. The delay occurred due to Technical reasons arising out of change in Editorial Team. We welcome our newly appointed Editor Dr. Hemant Agrawal, a very dynamic personality. With this and the forthcoming issues, you will notice drastic changes in the quality and contents of ‘IMAGE’. We sincerely hope the new Editor rises up to your expectation.
Friends, the year 2008 saw two major calamities:
The economic slowdown due to global recession, and
The ugly face of terrorism.
Even though economic recession originated in the U.S.A., its effects are felt by us, directly or indirectly. The market is tight and there is liquidity crunch. In a way, we are also affected – patients are holding on and adopting a wait-and-watch policy in elective procedures. Emergency work, of course, will remain unaffected. Salaries and payments are expected to slowdown. Still confined to the West, we are not as much affected as they, and we hope to recover soon.
The biggest challenge facing us today is terrorism. Terrorists have tried to hold our city to ransom. Many innocent lives have been lost and extensive damage has been done to properties, including the heritage ones. The aim of the terrorists is to create panic, cripple the economy and divide the people. Even though there is temporary loss of great magnitude, our Government has shown the terrorists that there is no room for negotiation and terrorists will be dealt with firmly. We applaud the role of our brave police force, army, navy and NSG Commandos in the fight against terrorists, a number of whom have sacrificed their lives in the process. We deeply mourn for them.
Friends, we are concerned with the social issue as well apart from medical activities. At this hour of grief and loss, we request you all to contribute generously to the Fund created for the families of the deceased policemen in our Suburbs. Your contribution will be duly acknowledged in our Circulars and the next issue of ‘IMAGE’. Let it be known that by their dastardly act, the terrorists have only united us together instead of dividing us.
Together we stand united in this period of grief and pledge that no act of terrorism can shake our loyalty and faith in our democratic country. We are determined to root out the evils of terrorism.
