“Besides, it should be proactive to introduce something new and look at how to improve the health of young girls as they grow. The policy of, learn-one-teach-one should be pursued. Thirdly society should be viable in terms of continuing the activity”.

“There is the need for leaders who can handover the baton to the next person,” he said and added, “finally, it is the public perception that should be taken into consideration”.

“For organizations and individuals to grow, certain qualities are necessary,” Sir Sabarathnam said. “Commitment, being compassionate towards patients, completeness in terms of knowledge skills, communication, instilling confidence, collaboration and team work are some of the essential constituents”.

Speaking on the occasion Federation of Obstetric and Gynecological Societies of India President Dr P C Mahapatra said Federation of International Obstetrics and Gynecology should be appreciated for balancing between scientific development and human development.
