When I began my journey in IVF, there were perhaps only around 10 to 15 doctors practising IVF across India !!

It was a time of pioneers, uncertainty, limited technology, and immense hope. Over the last 35 years, reproductive medicine has transformed repeatedly — and so have I. To remain relevant in medicine, one must keep learning, keep adapting, and keep reinventing oneself.

From the early days of IVF to ICSI, vitrification, embryo culture advances, spindle assessment, time-lapse systems like Embryoscope, donor programs, fertility preservation, and today’s AI driven innovations — every era has demanded new knowledge, new investment, and new thinking.

In recent years, healthcare has also seen the rise of private equity, aggressive expansion, branding, and marketing-led models. Yet through all these changes, one truth has remained constant:

Patients still value experience, judgment, ethics, and genuine care.

What gives me the greatest satisfaction is not competition or noise — it is meeting families years later. A mother introducing her six-year-old child and saying, “You helped bring this child into our lives.” Those moments cannot be bought, marketed, or manufactured.

Medicine is a long journey. Technologies change. Business models change. Trends change.

But trust endures.

Grateful to have walked this path for 35 years — and grateful that patients continue to place their faith in us every single day.

Happy Holi to everyone celebrating today.

On this vibrant festival of colours, our community has crossed 300,000 followers.

I am deeply grateful.

When I began my journey in reproductive medicine over 40 years ago, social media did not exist — only patients, clinics, and quiet clinical work.

Today, this platform allows me to share science, clarity, and evidence-based women’s health information with thousands of families every day.

Thank you for your trust.

We will continue to speak about fertility, IVF, endometriosis, pcos, obesity , menopause , vaccination , anemia , safe maternal services , menopause , egg freezing, community medicine , sicial responsibility and women’s health with responsibility and honesty.

This milestone belongs to all of you.

Warm wishes for a safe, joyful, and colourful

The National launch of HPV vaccination in India , in Kota , on 28 th feb 2026 at the hands of our beloved Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji , represents the outcome of sustained scientific advocacy Political will and collective leadership over many years. FOGSI has played a pivotal role in this journey, beginning in 2017 during the presidency of Dr. Rishma Pai, when Dr. Neerja Bathla led the development of the FOGSI Good Clinical Practice Recommendations (GCPR) on HPV vaccination. From that point onward, successive FOGSI Presidents continued to advance this national movement — Dr. Rishma Pai, Dr. Jaideep Malhotra, Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, Dr. Alpesh Gandhi, Dr. Shanta Kumari, myself (Dr. Hrishikesh Pai), Dr. Jaydeep
Tank, and Dr. Sunita Tandulwadkar, during whose presidency in 2024 the updated GCPR on cervical cancer prevention and Delphi consensus recommendations were released. The momentum now culminates under the leadership of current FOGSI President Dr. Bhaskar Pal, alongside the Government of India’s historic rollout beginning with one crore HPV vaccine doses.

During my tenure as FOGSI President in 2023, national and international collaborations were strengthened with partners including the American Cancer Society, Cancer Foundation of India, Indian Academy of Pediatrics, and UNICEF, enabling large-scale educational initiatives and training of nearly 10,000 gynaecologists across India. The 2023 FOGSI South–South Summit in New Delhi (Asia & Africa) and the FemTech Conference later that year (Africa & Latin America) further contributed to a Delphi consensus led by me , Blami Dao ( figo trustee for Africa) and Néstor Garello ( figo trustee for Latin America) , Hema Diwakar ( Figo Divisional head and past Fogsi President ) shared at the FIGO Cape Town Congress through a FOGSI-led scientific dialogue. all the Four secretary generals of Fogsi namely Myself Dr Hrishikesh pai , Dr Jaydeep Tank , Dr Madhuri patel and Dr Suvarna khadilkar , not to forget the chair of oncology Committe Dr Priya Ganeshkumar and chair of clinical research Dr Surelha Tayade also contributed to this movement. The UNICEF team led by Dr Luigi di Aquino , Dr Zia and Dr Hube Ali were major supporters of a fogsi o this endeavour. The Beckton. Dickinson team led by Ms Namita Singh and Mr Abhishek also supported this movement. Many other important leaders like Dr Sharda Jain , Dr Alka Kriplani , Dr. C N Purandare , Dr P C Mahapatra , Dr Narendra Malhotra , Dr Sanjay Gupte ,Dr P K shah , Dr Prqkqsh Trivedi , Dr Pankaj Desai , Dr Suchitra pandit , Dr Meera Agnihotri , Dr Usha Sharma , Dr Chandravati , Dr anita sabharwal , dr Pariksh*t tank , Dr Niranjan Chavan , Dr Ameya purandare ( the fogsi list is unending ) contributed to this movement

This landmark national programme, launched under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji and Union Health Minister Shri J. P. Naddaji , marks a decisive step toward preventing cervical cancer and protecting future generations of women. It reflects what becomes possible when sustained professional commitment aligns with strong public health leadership.
