Highlighting the importance of nursing staff in patient care, Dr. Vikram Siddareddy, Chairman and Managing Director of the United Hospital, held that nurses were the backbone of any healthcare institution and the healthcare sector at large.
“Nurses play an important role in patient care. They are the backbone of the entire healthcare profession. Without nurses and their care, the functioning of the healthcare sector cannot even be imagined. Doctors do play different roles. But when it comes to execution and caring, the role of nurses is pivotal,” Mr. Siddareddy said.
He was addressing the International Nurses Day celebrations at United Hospital in Kalaburagi on Friday.
