  • A research project in the form of ‘Epidemiological Survey of Dysmenorrhea & CPP – Screening of Endometriosis in South East Asia’ was initiated by Dr P K Mitra since Jan 2023 involving six adjoining districts of India & Bangladesh along Indo-Bangladesh border as 24-Parg(N),Nadia & Murshidabad from Indian side & Khulna,Jassore & Satkhira from Bangladesh side. In the March, 2023 Dr Mitra visited Bangladesh to continue the project with junior doctors & quacks of all the districts in a long term prospective trial by training them as to how to conduct Awareness Cum Screening Programs in various schools & colleges with Endo-Screening Form . The response was highly satisfactory. Later six other districts (3+3) were incorporated. Involvement of other nearby countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippine etc.  are in the pipeline. The study on behalf of ESI has already been presented in by Dr Mitra as International Faculty in International Conference of Endometriosis in Manila (Sept,2023) & Dhaka( March 9-10th ,2024) already. The same project with updates would be presented at SEUD Conf at Geneva, Switzerland(18-20 April,2024) & AOCOG at Busan,South Korea(May 2024).One pioneering project in the form of ‘Screening of Adolescent Endometriosis’ has not yet been done in South East Asia recently. At present ‘Hard Copy’ & ‘Digital’ screening in English & Bengali is continuing. President of Bangladesh Endometriosis Society also feels that a joint venture on this issue is the ‘need of the day’. Language is barrier to reach the students & common people of Non-English speaking countries which is been taken into due consideration. Summarize lessons and avoid repeating the same mistakes in future work.
  • A fascinating research is going on under the leadership of Mr P Das Mahapatra & Dr Partha Bhattarcharya ‘Impact on Double Progestogen Therapy for Endometriosis’.
  • Dr Ujjal Base & Dr Rituparna Bose is doing basic research at molecular level on Endometriosis. The first phase of the report would be published soon.
  • Prof Sujit Basu,Ohio State University, Columbus,USA, the first name in the field of Dopamine & Angiogenesis in the world at present has been doing lot of work on Endometriosis which is being highly appreciated by the Dean of that University & Endometriosis Society India has become one front line society in USA which is most important achievement for the First Indian & probably first South East Asian society to work on Endometriosis & Adenomyosis in USA.Prof Basu is the lead researcher of ESI so far seniority & International recognition are concerned & he has assured to continue his contributions to ESI.
  • Mr P Das Mahapatra ,President,ESI has been selected from India in the member body of Asian Society of Endometriosis & Adenomyosis.
  • Querterly E-Journal is being published by ESI under the main supervision of Dr Rooma Sinha with great excellence and 5th issue is under preperation
  • Dr Pradip Mitra has been selected as Chief Research Investigator from India at Geneva 2023 for conducting MARIE plus PLATO Projects & Perimenopausal Endometriosis, with his team under NHS, Southampton ,UK under Birmingham University , UK (2024-27). The report of the first phase has already been submitted.
  • Dr Pradip Mitra, Secretary General explored various North American Universities ( USA & Canada) for setting up ESI chapters with extensive interaction with GPs & Consultants cum Scientists apart from involving them in ESI activities and understanding the differences in the approach to Endometriosis in Developed & Developing countries. He also attended as Faculty in some International Conferences there.
