Trust between doctors and patients is waning: Baijal

Delhi: Mutual trust and respect earlier prevalent between doctors and their patients is slowly "waning" and needs to be restored, Lt Governor Anil Baijal said.

Speaking at the 20th annual conference of the Delhi Neurological Association, Baijal said the next decade would, without a doubt, be transformative and hoped neuroscience to play a critical role in human development.

A kind word or gesture could act as a booster to medical intervention, but these values were not taught at schools and colleges, the statement quoted Baijal as saying.
