Mangalore, Nov 4: The Christian missionaries converted the medical profession from state-centric or rich-people-centric to patient-centric in India. Nowadays, the same profession has become doctor-centric where the patients are neglected. Therefore, the modern physicians have the responsibility to convert it again as patient-centric, said Prof Syed Akheel Ahmed, vice-chancellor of Yenepoya University.

Speaking at the inaugural function of ‘Fr Muller Medical College (FMMC) Student Council 2008’ on Tuesday November 4, he said that importance should be given to the patients in the medical field. Only then the prevailing corruption in some of the sections in the medical fields can be eliminated, he opined.

Fr Patrick Rodrigues, director of Fr Muller Charitable Institutions, added that the student unions give the opportunity to learn responsibility. Being a part of it would help one to become responsible physician as well as responsible to the society, he stated.

Meanwhile Dr Akhter Husain, head of department of Orthodontics in Yenepoya Dental College, inaugurated ‘Chakravyuha,’ cultural fest of the college for the year 2008. Dr Sanjeev Rai, dean of FMMC, student council leader Saloni and others were present on the dais.

Fr Denis D’Sa, director of FMMC, administered the oath and welcomed the gathering. Farhan Fazal proposed vote of thanks.

    Only professional people like Yenepoya V.C.can acknowledge the good contribution of missionaries.Others are jealous and trying their best to stop the missionaries from their social service activities.Hope and pray that these people too learn to appreciate the good work of others irrespective of cast,creed ,religion or political party.

    Nice to see the young students aspiring to become doctors. As mentioned by Yenepoya Vice Chancellor medical profession must be patient-centric as most of the medical knowledge is imbibed through patients. Patients are more than Professors who teach this profession. Unless patient cooperate and present their symptoms and disease, a Professor cannot teach to a student. In our part of the world, medical profession has become a big buissness and only the rich class can get into these medical schools but only the poor patients are the experimental animals to present and teach these students.

    We may preach lot of things in our country on education, equality etc, etc, but at the end of the day it is your parents wallet that helps you to get into the medical school. Atleast our future doctors better learn from these poor patients and remember their contribution in helping them to become doctors. Good luck
