“The Indian Medical Association has long been a symbol of ethical conduct and professionalism within the medical community. It is crucial that we maintain the highest standards of transparency and democracy within our organization to retain the trust and confidence of the members,” the letter stated.Responding to the letter, Dr R V Asokan, National President of the IMA, said, “This is an election dispute, and there is a redressal mechanism within the IMA itself where an aggrieved member can file a complaint. It will be dealt with according to the rules and bylaws of the IMA.””FAIMA is a separate organisation addressing the issues of resident doctors. They have their own rules and elections. We are not affiliated. They are an independent body. However some of the resident doctors might have become IMA members. As such they govern themselves and are independent, nothing to do with IMA,” Dr Asokan said.
