"There should be an emotional dialogue between the patients and the doctors. We have lost it in this commercial age. The respect for the doctors has diminished due to priority being given to commercial interests," he said.

Adityanath was addressing the inaugural ceremony of the 'Smile Mashal Jyoti' event at his residence here.

He said projects like this bring happiness on the lives of the people and also helps a doctor to present his humane face before his patients.
