Speaking on the occasion, the President said that Patna Medical College is one of the invaluable heritage of Bihar. The institute has a glorious history of preserving the antiquity and continuously moving towards modernity. PMCH was one of the best hospitals in Asia. The alumni of this institute have illuminated the name of their and PMCH in the country and abroad on the strength of their talent, service and dedication.
The President said that going to another city or state for treatment is damaged in many ways, such as delay in treatment, food, housing and employment problems. This also increases the burden on medical institutions of big cities. Decentralization of good medical institutions across the country will prove to be helpful in solving all these problems. Cities such as Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Indore have developed into the centers of special treatment. Bihar should also develop many such centers. This will not only provide good treatment to the people of Bihar, but will also promote the economy of the state. PMCH and its alumni can contribute significantly to this effort with their experience. The President said that this is the era of technology. Technology is also playing an important role in the medical field. Techniques such as artificial intelligence and robotics are making the medical process simple and accurate.
He urged all stakeholders of PMCH to always be ready to adopt the latest techniques. He said that this will not only make treatment easier, but will also increase the knowledge and efficiency of doctors. The President said that our doctors are also researchers, doctors, teachers and counselors. In all these roles, they serve people and society and contribute to nation building. He urged them to make people aware of the importance of blood and organ donation.
