KIIT University Pro-Chancellor Subrat Kumar Acharya, during his interaction at the ceremony, emphasized the role of new medicos in effective patient care. He further said that in recent times the requirement for patient care is changing. Medical knowledge and skills are changing at a fast pace. For the new medicos learning should not stop. It should be an ever-ending process so that patient care should be done in effective ways. He advised the medical graduates to follow ethics to impart high standards in the profession, reports The Hindu.
GITAM President M. Sribharath hopes that the medicos of the institute will improve the patient care facilities in rural India. Rural India still doesn't have trained specialists. Most doctors prefer to stay in cities and treat patients who can pay.
