"Certificate of Competence" for "Nuchal Translucency"
August 30, 2016;
APPRECIATION
SJS 4th Batch Alumni Association (1983-1993 Batch) would like to congratulate Dr. Girindra Chingtham S/o Shri Ch. Bikramjit Singh of Kwakeithel Mayaikoibi, Imphal on being conferred the “CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCE” for “NUCHAL TRANSLUCENCY”, an ultrasound detection of Down’s Syndrome at 11-14 weeks of pregnancy by the Fetal Medicine Foundation, London on 19th August, 2016.
Early detection of babies which are not normal particularly Down’s Syndrome give parents a chance to consider aborting their fetuses in early gestation which if remained undetected and allowed to deliver at term can cause a lot of mental and social burden to the parents.
We are very lucky to know that ultrasound can detect these abnormal babies as early as 11 weeks of gestation. Till now. 366 doctors from India have obtained the certification and we are happy to inform that he is so far the only doctor from Manipur included in the list.
Earlier this year, he also became the first Gynaecologist from the state to clear the GESEA Diploma (Bachelor in Endoscopy) from ESGE (European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy) Leuven, Germany.
We wish him the best for his future and keep acquiring newer knowledge for the betterment of our society.
