Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday, August 29, told doctors to uphold professional values and ethics, and make best efforts till the last minute to save human lives.
Speaking after unveiling the logo of the centenary celebrations of Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI), one of the country’s oldest medical colleges that was started in 1924, the renovated Burns Casualty Ward and the MRI scanning facility at the K.R. Hospital here, the Chief Minister expressed happiness that the MMCRI has completed 100 glorious years.
“I had the desire to study medicine and to become a doctor. But, I didn’t get a medical seat. Had I got a seat, I think I wouldn’t have become the Chief Minister,” Mr. Siddaramaiah told the gathering.
