Dr. Singh’s selection is expected to benefit medical teachers and research scholars in Jharkhand by increasing opportunities for their research papers to be published in JIMA. The lack of research publications in recognized journals has sometimes led to the rejection of senior teachers’ promotions by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
A veteran plastic surgeon in Jharkhand and Bihar, Dr. Singh is regarded as one of the most experienced professionals guiding the IMA national body and its various panels for the welfare of medical professionals.
The office bearers of the Jharkhand chapter of IMA, the Jharkhand State Health Services Association (JSHSA), the Junior Doctors Association (JDA), and the IMA Junior Doctors Network (JDN) state body have congratulated Dr. Singh. They stated that his selection to the JIMA Advisory Committee is a proud moment for the state’s medical fraternity.
