The IMA Central Working Committee and National Faculty of PC-PNDT Act member, Dr D S Jaspal said, “The association is committed to work on the sensitive issue proactively to reverse the declining sex ratio and ensuring a gender balance in the society.”

He further added that a dialogue process has already been started with medical fraternity to bring about social and moral pressure to address the problem of prenatal sex determination and selective pre-elimination of girl child.

Dr Jaspal said that regional and district-level workshops would be held all over the country in order to streamline the campaign. He said the IMA has also constituted a monitoring cell to curb the female foeticide.
