Ayodhya,(Thestates.news)| Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday praised the dedication of doctors who continue to serve patients tirelessly even in challenging situations and said that along with the spirit of service towards the patient and attendant, it is very important for a doctor to have patience as well. While addressing a function organised in the auditorium of Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College in Gorakhpur, the CM said, “It is the responsibility of doctors to respect the faith of common people in them through their hard work and dedication.”
He inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of several development projects at the medical college and launched various new facilities in public interest on the occasion. He also distributed tablets and smartphones to MBBS and paramedical students. Yogi emphasised the profound emotional impact of illness on families. He acknowledged the significant stress experienced when a family member falls ill, noting that some patients are the heads of their families while others may be children, underscoring the emotional and social stakes involved.
He highlighted that financial stress has been substantially alleviated with large-scale assistance provided by the government from the Ayushman Yojana and the CM Discretionary Fund. However, he pointed out that the psychological and emotional challenges faced by the sick and their caregivers remain significant. He lamented fights between patients and caregivers.
Emphasising the role of healthcare providers, the CM mentioned that doctors should be recognised not only for their skills and service but also for their patience. He warned that a lapse in a doctor’s patience could exacerbate a patient’s problems. He said that a few kind words from a doctor could significantly improve a patient’s condition and potentially give them a new lease on life. (UNI)
