No matter how technology evolves, the juice of love in the doctor-patient relationship must remain forever. Honesty and integrity of patient care should be maintained. If doctors do humanitarian work, a hopeful world will be created for future generations.”

Dr. Samprasad Vinod said, For patients, a doctor’s healing touch is like a mother’s hand on her child’s back. Although the use of AI is increasing, it will not take place the feeling of emotional touch. For that, a God-like doctor is needed & their need in society will continue. Humanity is indispensable for human beings to live life. Suryadatta is spreading humanity amongst the students through this kind of event.

The character of the doctor is equally important.
