FAIMA has raised concerns about potential corruption and irregularities in the Indian Medical Association's (IMA) recent elections, threatening the organization's integrity.

In a letter to the IMA's chief election commissioner, FAIMA alleged large sums were collected for nominations, yet several positions were filled without elections, raising transparency issues.

FAIMA urged for an investigation into these allegations, particularly scrutinizing Dr Ketan Desai's role as the IMA's Chief Patron. IMA President Dr R V Asokan stated that FAIMA is an independent body and complaints within IMA can be addressed through its redressal mechanism.
