President Message

  • On a wintry afternoon around a decade ago, seven like-minded doctors came together to discuss how they, as a group, could contribute to improving the lives of people around them.
  • This was the beginning of the East Kolkata Doctors Group, abbreviated as EKDG.
  • In a short time, we have collaborated to enhance the well-being of the community by providing health education and related support.
  • Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, we united to offer timely and evidence-based advice, as well as arrange for masks, sanitisers, medicines, oxygen, and hospital beds when they were in short supply.
  • Furthermore, we have pooled our expertise to provide ongoing medical education to doctors in various specialities through conferences, roundtable meetings, workshops, and problem-solving sessions.
  • This has required us to stay updated with the rapidly evolving scientific literature in our respective fields.
  • Additionally, we have contributed to the scientific literature by publishing in peer-reviewed, high-impact journals.
  • As a scientific society, we have made a significant impact in eastern India, if not nationally.
  • To commemorate our success and further our mission to augment education for doctors and patients, we are launching our website to provide information and assistance from EKDG. We are excited to have you join us as we continue on this journey.
