Rohtak, January 23

Dr Vani Malhotra, a professor in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at the Rohtak PGIMS, has bagged the Amarinder Nath Dan prize in mother and child healthcare during the 65th national conference of the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India held in Kolkata recently.

She gave a presentation on successful strategies for the prevention of vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus in pregnant patients.

A research is being carried out at the PGIMS for the past five years. As per a statement issued by the PGIMS administration, it is one of the rare researches worldwide to date.

No detrimental effects of hepatitis B virus or antiviral treatment on pregnant women or newborns were found in the study.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
