Presidential Message

Dear Members and Visitors,
I am truly honored and excited to assume the role of President of the Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons of India (AHRS). As we embark on this journey together, I am committed to advancing our awareness and enhancing the quality of care we provide to our patients.

Our Vision for a Stronger Future:

Combating the Black Market:
The prevalence of unlicensed and unethical hair restoration practices presents a significant challenge to our field. We will spearhead initiatives to identify and combat these black market operations through collaboration with regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies. This effort will include the establishment of a reporting mechanism for patients to safely report dubious practices. Additionally, we shall increase the awareness for the created comprehensive database of our members that highlights accredited practitioners and clinics, enabling patients to make safer choices.

Increasing Public Awareness:
A critical component of our mission is to raise awareness about hair restoration procedures. We will launch multi-faceted educational campaigns across various platforms—social media, workshops, and seminars—to inform potential patients about the benefits, risks, and realistic outcomes of hair restoration solutions. By disseminating accurate and transparent information, we seek to empower individuals in their decision-making process, ensuring they can differentiate between qualified practitioners and those operating outside the ethical framework of our profession.

Upholding Ethical Guidelines:
Ethical practice is the cornerstone of our profession. We will reinforce the importance of adhering to stringent ethical guidelines within our operation theatres while fostering a culture of transparency and accountability among our members. We will also establish a continuous professional development program focused on best practices in patient care, surgical techniques, and post-operative follow-up. By committing to these standards, we not only protect our patients but also enhance the credibility of our field as a whole.

In conclusion, I invite each of you to actively participate in these initiatives. Together, we can elevate the standards of the hair restoration industry in India and protect the health and well-being of our patients. I am confident that with your support and collaboration, we can achieve these ambitious goals and drive positive change within our community.

Thank you for your trust and commitment to our shared vision.

Warm regards,
Dr Mayank Singh
President, AHRS
