PGIMER Inaugurates New Academic Session

Wednesday, 08 January 2025 | PNS | Chandigarh

The art of patient handling and communication is critical, as our patients deserve not only our expertise but also our empathy and the most effective treatments often stem from a compassionate interaction, not just from a clinical assessment,  Dr. Digambar Behera, Professor Emeritus, PGIMER, Chandigarh, & President, National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS), New Delhi, said on Tuesday.

 

He was addressing as the Chief Guest at the inaugural ceremony of the New Academic Session of PGIMER  which was attended by former directors, deans, senior faculty , such as Prof. Y.K. Chawla, Prof. Jagat Ram, and Prof. Subhash Verma, alongside key functionaries and heads of departments. 


Sharing his insights with the audience, Dr. Behera stressed the importance of ethical practice and empathy in the medical profession, two essential pillars that are increasingly vital as healthcare becomes more complex, the sentiment underscoring the core message of the inauguration: the need for healthcare providers to focus on the humanity in medicine.

Earlier, Prof. Vivek Lal, Director, PGIMER, emphasized the underlying philosophy of the institute, “In the realm of healthcare, it is not the state-of-the-art infrastructure that defines our greatness, but rather our unwavering commitment to humanity. It is this deep-rooted devotion that allows us to transcend the limitations of infrastructure and truly make a difference in the lives of our patients."
