National Medical Council’s Medical Assessment and Rating Board (NMCMARB) chairman MK Ramesh on Friday said that modern doctors use several high-tech tools in detecting and treating diseases and artificial intelligence makes our work easier and faster, but doctors must adhere to the age-old ethical principles of sympathy and kindness.
These are always trendy and never go out of style, said Mr. Ramesh while speaking at the 13th convocation of BLDE Deemed University in Vijayapur on Friday.
Health services in the country have reached a new level as state-of-the-art technology has been used to provide quality services to patients, he said.
There has been an increase in the number of people using technological tools. Patients can be treated remotely through telemedicine over the internet and digital platforms have helped patients reach doctors easily, NMCMARB chariman said.
“The use of artificial intelligence has helped in identifying the characteristics of diseases. Robotic technology has become beneficial in performing surgeries in a simple, easy, cheap and minimally invasive manner,” said Mr. Ramesh.
Genomics and precision medicine technologies, nanotechnology, regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy, health data analytics, medical devices and wearable technology have facilitated rapid detection, treatment and recovery from diseases in the field of medicine. Young doctors should therefore make good use of these technologies and help those who need treatment,” he said.
Mr. Ramesh said doctors should engage in research and improve their professional skills.
He further said that students who are studying in college should realize that their studies never end. Young doctors entering the profession should treat patients with compassion. “At the same time, self-study and research in medicine should always continue,” he said.
Vice Chancellor Arun Cham. Inamdara presented the annual report. He talked about the research that is going on at the university, about the recognitions received, the new signed agreements and the achievements of doctors and future projects.
