Welcome to the website of the Indian Menopause Society (IMS)

Dear Fellow Members,

I am privileged to get the opportunity of serving women of Menopausal age group of our country .While thanking you with all my heart for electing me as President,IMS for this year, I solicit your support and look forward to a fruitful year ahead. Your involvement with suggestions and constructive criticism are valuable to me.

The year 2011 of Indian Menopause Society is dedicated to our Petri and Post menopausal women who had been suffering in silence, thus the theme we have selected is: "HELPING HER BREEZE THROUGH MENOPAUSE"

Goals of 2011 are:

  • The most important goal will be to encourage and motivate more social workers, educationists and health workers from the society to be a part of Indian Menopause Society. Genuine efforts will be made for Membership drive in the society. Chapters who have made more non medical members (irrespective of life/ annual members) will receive awards and recognitions.

  • Promotion and implementation of preventive measures: India is a poor country where attention should be given to disease prevention. Menopause provides window of opportunity through which Menopause Experts can educate the women how to prevent or atleast postpone ill health like obesity, Diabetes, High Blood pressure, Dislipidemia, Heart disease, Osteoporosis and various cancers of female reproductive systems including Breast. By preventing these diseases we can provide many more years of disease free life. This concept is known as "Compressing Morbidity".

  • We need to encourage more and more of our fellow members to start Menopause Clinics as per the IMS Guidelines. These members should take the Credentialed Menopause Examination and become Menopause Experts.

We are proposing a 5 point Agenda for the year 2011.

We intend to make all these programs as simple, rationale & economical as possible. I hope to get cooperation from the IMS family, as rightly said, Individually we achieve and collectively we excel"hence, I look forward to your responses your support.

LONG LIVE IMS

Dr. Saroj Srivastava
President, IMS 2011
