To fight against myxopathy, IMA is organising relay hunger strike from 1st to 14th of February all over India against myxopathy. We will also fight against the draconian Clinical Establishment Bill which is anti-doctor and anti-common man,” said Dr Keshave Sudh.

Dr JS Grover, honorary secretary of association, said, “Indian Medical Association is an association of doctors of modern scientific system of medicine founded in 1928. It has 1,750 branches in 34 states and union territories with over 3 lakh members.”
