Annual Day: “A patient is the most important person in any healthcare set-up. Then come the paramedics and the nursing personnel. While the doctors take all the credit for curing patients, I personally feel that it is the practitioners like you who actually make the patients walk back home,” said Sudarshan Ballal, Managing Director and Chairman, Medical Advisory Board, Manipal Hospital, Bengaluru, at the 16 Annual and Award Day function of Manipal School of Allied Health Sciences (MSOAHS), Manipal, recently.
Dr. Ballal said that there was no alternative to honesty and inter-personal skills and there was absolutely no role for anyone in the medical profession to feel they are superior to others. “So my request to all of you here is to develop good inter-personal skills because that’s what determines your future,” he said.
B. Rajashekhar, Dean of MSOAHS, read the annual report.
Awards were given to outstanding students and the programme concluded with a cultural programme.
