Medical services important pillar of armed forces: President
New Delhi: President Ram Nath Kovind said that medical services are an important pillar of the armed forces and it's important to focus on training and medical research to keep up with the present world scenario.
Delivering the valedictory address at the 42nd World Congress of the International Committee of Military Medicine (ICMM), Kovind said the Armed Forces Medical Services of India has been providing a "stellar service" not only to the forces, but has also been in the service of the nation during peace and wartime.
They are the most-valuable first responders in times of natural and man-made crises and are in a perpetual state of readiness, he said.
"In keeping with the present world scenario, it is important that we focus on two aspects of medicine - training and medical research. Both are progressive and mandated requirements of the medical profession, which help the organisation and the individual to constantly grow and expand," he said.
