Chancellor of Nitte Deemed-to-be-University Vishal Hegde said, "The medical profession is not confined to fixed working hours. Doctors remain committed to society's health 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For them, a patient's life always takes precedence over festivals, family functions, and personal commitments."
He was speaking after honouring three senior doctors during the National Doctors' Day celebrations, jointly organised by the K S Hegde Charitable Hospital and K S Hegde Medical Academy and Nitte Deemed-to-be-University.
Eminent gynaecologist from Payyanur in Kerala Dr Saraswathi Venugopal, Family Physician from Ummachagi, Yellapur, Dr M S Bhat Marigoli and Family Physician from Mangaluru Dr Sudhesh K Derebail were honoured.
Vishal Hegde stated that the rapid advancement of technology had brought new challenges to the medical profession.
"With the growing use of Artificial Intelligence, many patients now arrive at hospitals after reading online information and forming their own assumptions about their illnesses. However, every individual is unique, and accurate diagnosis can only be made through careful assessment of symptoms, medical history, and clinical examination. Beyond technological assistance, it is the doctor's experience, knowledge, and clinical judgment that ultimately ensure the right diagnosis and treatment."
Pro-Chancellor of Nitte University Prof M Shantharam Shetty said the COVID-19 pandemic reminded the entire world of the invaluable role played by doctors.
