In a significant recognition to the medical fraternity of Bihar, Dr Nibha Mohan from Patna has been elected Chairman of the Breast and Puerperal Health Committee of the Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecological Societies of India (FOGSI).

Dr. Mohan, who is also secretary of the Patna Obstetric and Gynecological Society, was formally appointed to the new role for the term 2026-2028 at the ongoing annual conference of FOGSI at the Yashobhumi Convention Center in New Delhi.

She succeeds Dr. Charu Bapaye of Pune, who completed her term as chairperson of the committee.
