President’s Message 

Dear Members, 

Greetings from the office of the President of IAMM. This is
my third communication as the president and Iwonder how
time flies. After almost a year we will be meeting in Kolkata
in November 2010. I am looking forward to meet you all.
Please be there to have professional gains and fellowship
together. The draft paper work related to Indian College
of Microbiologists (ICMM) under the aegis of IAMM is
almost complete.

I appeal to all IAMM state chapters to take lead role in getting prepared for the greater role to play as clinical Microbiologists in our institutions. The preparedness of the laboratory is the key issue. Especially in the light of rising antimicrobial resistance seen in bacteria isolated in our hospitals and community associated infections. As clinical microbiologists it is our prime concern and duty to create awareness amongst clinicians and general public as well.

I welcome the International Society of Chemotherapy (ISC), UK, to have collaboration in advancement of knowledge, particularly in the field of infectious diseases, in this Kolkata congress. I think we all will have great time in our national meeting at Kolkata.

I am sure with the strength of young brigade and the wisdom of senior generals, the IAMM will march ahead towards achieving it’s goal.

With best wishes for a season and all forthcoming festivals.
