Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan appealed to medical practitioners to be compassionate towards the poor and downtrodden while providing treatment.
He was addressing a large gathering of doctors including several cardiologists at the ‘Cardiology Update Summit’ organised by Ramesh Hospitals on the ‘Role of family physicians in the prevention of sudden cardiac death’ on the occasion of completion of 50,000 cardiac procedures in 25 years, on Sunday.
Quoting a story from the Ramayana, Mr. Harichandan said that it is the ‘dharma’ of a doctor who is revered as a god to treat patients fighting for their life.
