Dr John Ebnezar founded the Geriatric Orthopedic Society of India in 2013. Ever since the Society is growing by leaps and bounds and has spread its inflUence across the length and breadth of the country and has a presence now in 7 countries. Inspired by this the Bangladesh Orthopedic Society spearheaded by Dr Monirul Alam founded the Geriatric Orthopedic Association of Bangladesh (GOAB) and invited who else other than Dr John Ebnezar to be the Guest of Honor on the day of the inauguration of their organisation at Dhaka on August 11th at Dhaka Club. Vice Chancellor of Mujeeburilla University felicitated Dr John Ebnezar for his role in establishing the GOAB.
