III. Tribal Health Care (since 2000)
Initiated an integrated quality reproductive health care project for tribal
at Bastar, Chattisgarh. It involves a micro-credit-savings project to
economically empower the tribal women, introduce safe water-sanitation
practices, and active health awareness, * screening and intervention program on
RTI-HPV-CANCER PREVENTION (Presented in Prev. Oncology Conf. in France. A
functional network has been developed between the primary domiciliary level of
care and the tertiary care (A fully equipped with operative facilities at our
Vivekananda Tribal hospital, Bastar) in order to provide a comprehensive health
care to tribal population, Reproductive and child health, leprosy, TB control
program.

(b) UNDP-UNV (1990-92) Project in high altitude areas of Bhutan as UN specialist.
As an expert with UNDP, upgraded the national hospital in terms of services, manpower capabilities, started gynecological cancer surveillance unit, high risk obstetrics unit, networking health services and submitted a Technical report on the UNV-UNDP project on the “ Strengthening the technical manpower capabilities in Bhutan.”
VI. Indian Experience
(a) At Lakshadweep (IGH) - Initiated safe motherhood practices, high risk approach and early referrals networking, strengthening tertiary care centre, developing telemedicine networking between group of islands,
(b) At CGHS Mumbai (2000 onward) - Developed the polyclinic into a state of art medical centre for the advance diagnostics and treatment in OBGYN, sophisticated day care surgery unit, menopause, infertility, high risk, ultrasound color Doppler unit, pre-natal genetic counseling centre, and cancer surveillance unit.
(c) Work at Safdarjung Hospital (OBS-GYN Department at post-graduate teaching hospital, New Delhi, (1982 to 1995)): completed MD (1982-85) and Ph.D. (1992-96) in Biomedical engineering from IITD/AIIMS, Delhi (on job part time) in reproductive & vascular technology development, developed collaboration with national medical device centre at IIT-Delhi, High risk obstetrics, maternal-perinatal mortality studies, Standardization of obstetrics ultrasound & partogram, establishing high risk labor room, Intensive care for pre-eclamptics, birth asphyxia and neonatal ICU care, Chlamydia infection and colposcopy, reconstructive vaginal surgery, endoscopy etc,
(d) National perinatal projects- Indian Council of Medical Research-
(i) A concept of regionalization of perinatal care in India,
(ii) National collaborative project on the identification of high risk families, mother and new born etc. in relation to nutrition, anthropological and other related factors.
(e) MD {Obstetrics & Gynecology} by Thesis: Delhi University, 1985.(Safdarjung hospital) : Evaluation of Maternal and perinatal morbidity in cesarean section following short course antibiotic therapy.
