President Murmu: Serve Humanity, Doctors!

President Droupadi Murmu recently addressed the first convocation of AIIMS Bilaspur, emphasizing that the core objective of the medical profession should be to serve humanity. She encouraged doctors to combine professional excellence with compassion and empathy, stating that these qualities provide significant courage to patients.

Murmu appealed to graduating medical students to overcome any hesitation in serving remote and inaccessible regions. Drawing from her own background from a challenging, remote environment, she stressed that genuine satisfaction is found in selfless service, particularly towards the underprivileged in rural and hilly areas.

The President highlighted the national goal of establishing AIIMS institutions to broaden access to quality healthcare and medical education. She specifically tasked AIIMS Bilaspur with a crucial responsibility due to its location, urging it to become a leading center for advanced tertiary care in Himachal Pradesh.

To strengthen healthcare in hilly regions, Murmu suggested leveraging telemedicine, specialist consultations for remote areas, and advanced training for medical personnel. She underscored the importance of utilizing the latest technologies to ensure timely and quality healthcare services reach all populations, especially those in remote locations.
