Respected IADVL Gujarat State Branch members,

My sincere thanks to all the members of IADVL Gujarat State Branch for endowing me with the responsibility as President of IADVL Gujarat State Branch for the year 2025. The vibrant dermatology community of Gujarat state has always been very enthusiastic and supportive.

Me and my team have planned lots of activities this year encompassing not only academic activities; but also social activities, activities for our PG residents, organization of various awareness days with reach to common public, practitioners forums, etc.

Throughout the year CMEs, workshops, and conferences will be held at different places across Gujarat to cover the dermatology fraternity across Gujarat. All medical colleges of Gujarat will participate in a variety of educational activities to benefit not only post-graduates but also dermatologists in practice. National and international leaders in the Dermatology field will be invited to share their expertise and knowledge with us. Our focus will be incorporating cutting-edge technologies and advances in the field, sharing the experience & knowledge of all and enriching patient care for all.

We wish to step ahead on the excellent work our predecessors have put forward at state as well as national level over the years for Gujarat IADVL. We invite suggestions from all the members for the betterment of the association. Your support and active involvement will be crucial in putting up IADVL Gujarat State Branch on the forefront at the National level.

Jai IADVL Gujarat! Long live IADVL! Thank you all!
