Innumerable Honours Bequeathed on Dr. Vyomesh Shah

The first and foremost title of biggest honour bequeathed by the doctor is the Limca Book of Recordsʼ for single headedly removing sixty six uteri of women suffering from a number of different gynaecological problems within a short span of 22 hours only on 15 ‒ 16 Dec 2001 at the Gandhinagar Prajapathi Samaj Camp. However the doctor considered his contribution to the society as a true citizen of this country over and above any number of honours that may be bestowed upon him. He has been awarded the most prestigious, FOGSI CORION Award in the year 2008 in Delhi, recognising of the best scientific research in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The Federation of Obstetric & Gynaecological Societies of India instituted the awards in 1995 with the assistance of Win-Medicare Ltd. The 23rd FOGSI CORION award was presented for the highly celebrated discovery in the field of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. This is one of the highest recognitions that is bestowed upon a professional in this field in the entire nation. The rotary foundation international is a gigantic organisation with wide shoulders that is branched out across the world and aims to offer better health care facilitates across the globe. This organisation has recognised the tangible and significant assistance offered by Dr. Vyomesh Shah for the better understanding and friendly relations among people of the world.

This is an honour of par excellence as the recognition is worldwide and seeks to glorify the able assistance offered by professionals for the noble cause undertaken by this organisation. This honour had bequeathed the most worthy title of “Paul Harris Fellow” on the doctor which has been earned only by a rare few in this profession with a socio cultural service bent of mind across the nation. Glorified in the native place is an honour by itself and Mr. Vyomesh Shah had been declared to be the Out Standing Gynaecologist for the year 2004 by the state of Gujarat. It is our strong conviction as well as faith that the professional greatness of the doctor cannot be the singular reason for this award being conferred upon the doctor. It extends beyond the professional periphery into the social consciousness of the doctor, the approach towards using the professional expertise to create awareness and positive changes in the society. Hence, the glory of being the recipient of this award lies in the fact that the doctor has created an inclusive ambition of social awareness and healthcare for the weaker sections imbibed within the other professional duties as a doctor. This has resulted in the doctor being glorified for not only his great achievements in the professional fields by invention of a ground breaking technique in vaginal hysterectomy, but having the social consciousness for reduction of cost of the surgical procedure thereby benefitting thousands of women across the nation. Similarly his professional acumen as well as innumerable and uncountable contribution towards the society has been recognised not only in the state of his domicile but also in other states such as Maharashtra by being awarded with the most prestigious Outstanding Gynaecologist by the Bombay ObGy society in the year 2003. A fine example of an ethical professional would be Dr. Vyomesh Shah for he had not only simplified the procedure of vaginal hysterectomy by invention of the aqua method but also rendered the procedure to be economically viable making the much needed breakthrough for the financially impacted Indian Society at large.

Even after being bequeathed with a number of honours in various prestigious podiums and honourable stages one award that the doctor considers close to his heart is the Patan Ratna award conferred by the Lions club of Patan in his own native soil in the year 2004. It is indeed a matter of immense honour that the doctor has been felicitated by the Lions Club of the place of birth of the doctor. Cadila Healthcare Gujarat had conferred the Olympian Honour on Dr. Vyomesh Shah, a cadre of the highest degree. Rotary club had realised that human beings as intelligent, but benevolent at the same time striving hard to contribute to the society are born only once in a blue moon and rightly conferred the “Man of the Millennium” title on Dr. Shah.
