” As nurses under the aegis of religious umbrella, we want you to be different and show example on how to treat humanity while taking care of patients. As a medical sociologist, I believe there is so much one can do, apart from administration of drugs. One needs to fine out the perception of the patient about what the medical personnel is doing to him. This is why relationship is very important in dealing with patients” he explained.

He assured them of the state governments support towards their national conference and their general practice.
