President Ram Nath Kovind expressed his concern over the inadequate number of medical seats for the youth of the nation as he addressed the crowd at the 45th convocation of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
Pointing to the gap between the good healthcare system of the nation and population of the country he said that it is due to the absence of the stipulated number of doctors in the nation that the workload on the existing doctors is very high and this situation needs to be sorted on urgent basis.
“I recognize that I am placing a big responsibility on the capable shoulders of our doctors. I acknowledge that our doctors need help. They need help in the form of more colleagues and this is where we need a new regulatory system to enhance the availability of doctors and medical professionals in our society,” the president added.
He further said that there is a need to create more opportunities for the students who want to make their career in the field of education. He also praised the students and the teachers of AIIMS institute and said that AIIMS had become “a byword for quality, commitment, and a rich experience”.
“It is true that you need to be legitimately rewarded for your academic excellence, your medical skills, and your expertise. Yet, as doctors, your services must be available both to those who can afford your fees and also to those who are less fortunate and cannot afford (the fees).The patients and their families have a great trust in you and they see you as next to god. It is upon you to ensure that the trust is given the due respect and that you treat them with care and compassion,” he told the graduating students.
