History

Bihar  Obstetric and Gynaecological Society [ Now Patna Obstetric and Gynaecological Society] was founded in the year 1958 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of  Patna Medical College Hospital in  the  library cum seminar  room  attached  to  Gynaecology  outpatient  department  (GOPD).

From 1958 to early 1984 the office of P.O.G.S. was  functioning in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, P.M.C.H. in the  library cum seminar  room  attached  to  GOPD. In the year 1984, under the Presidentship of Dr. Anmola Sinha, the office was shifted to a room  in the Indian Medical Association building which is centrally located and  has a  bigger accommodation for holding meetings. The society is thankful to the office bearers of I.M.A. for allowing the members of P.O.G.S. to hold meetings in seminar hall for many years without taking any charge.

Members  of  P.O.G.S.  Will  ever  remain  grateful  to  The  late  Dr. P. Dutta (President  IMA) & The  late Dr. A.K.N. Sinha  for  allocating  the  space  with  partial  construction  to  build  the  office  of  P.O.G.S.  as  per  requirement.

A  total  sum  of  Rs. Five lacs five thousand nine hundred forty nine & paise ninety only (Rs. 5,05949=90) was  handed  over  to  POGS  by  organising  committee  of  33rd  All  India  Conference  of  FOGSI  held  at  Patna  in 1989, organised  by  Dr. Jagdishwari  Mishra  for  construction  of  building – POGS  office. The  amount  was  part  of  the  savings  of  33rd  AICOG.

It  gives  me  immense  pleasure  to  document  the  greatest  achievement  of  society  which  is  worth  recording  in  golden  letters in  the  history  of  P.O.G.S.   —  the  very  fact  that  the  present  space  of  POGS  which  is  named  as  “ Obstetric & Gynaecological  Wing”  is  because  of  the  33rd  All  India  Congress  of  FOGSI  held  at  Patna. Thus  the  long  cherished  desire  to  have  our  own  office  got  fulfilled  by  the  savings  of  33rd  AICOG.

Finally  on  6th  Oct. 1996  during  the  Presidentship  of  Dr. Shanti Roy  and  Secretaryship  of  Dr. Pramila Modi  the  newly  constructed “Obstetric & Gynaecological  Wing”  was  inaugurated  by  His  Excellency Dr.  A. R. Kidwai, the  then  Governor  of  Bihar .

The “Obstetric and Gynaecological wing” has a seminar hall which can accommodate 75 persons, one president suite, office space,  2 rest rooms, 1 pantry and a small  balcony. The balcony was covered from all sides and was converted into a small library room of the society.
