Vaidyo Narayana Hari saying is hundred percent true.
* It cannot be forgotten that many doctors of the world risked their lives to save people’s lives during Covid.
Availing healthcare for the wealthy,is not a difficult task. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that it is the responsibility of government doctors to provide healthcare to the poor.
He spoke at the National Doctor’s Day program organized by the Department of Health and Family Welfare at Vidhan Soudha’s Banquet Hall and distributed awards to the doctors.
Good health,good education,good opportunities are not available due to discrimination in the society.He said that government doctors should develop professionalism and service attitude so that poor people do not have to go to private hospitals.
The proportion of doctors coming from villages, poverty,exploited and backward family backgrounds has increased.They should come forward voluntarily to work in rural areas with more enthusiasm.
It should not be forgotten that the patients who come to primary health centers are from their own background.
It is unfortunate that doctors are reluctant to serve in rural areas despite providing adequate facilities.
It is the duty of the government to provide good health and education to all.He said that government doctors and private doctors should perform their duties according to the expectations of the people.
Bidhan Chandra Roy,who was the second Chief Minister of West Bengal,continued his career as a doctor even when he was the Chief Minister.He was providing health services to the people.
Thus he became Bharat Ratna.Why can’t BC Roy become every doctor’s role model ? The CM asked.
Not everyone can become Ambedkar,Buddha or Gandhi.But it is possible for everyone to walk their path.
The doctor community must work hard to follow the exemplary path laid down by Dr.Bidhan Chandra Roy
