Doctors must work towards becoming clinical scientists to improve innovation and help in the growth of the medical field, said P. Namperumalsamy, Chairman Emeritus of Aravind Eye Care System.
Addressing doctors at the inauguration of the 52nd conference of Tamil Nadu Orthopaedic Association here on Friday, the senior surgeon and Padma Shri recipient said that with augmented research, doctors could combine traditional methods and innovation to help patients.
“Doctors must look to develop technological solutions in India expanding on areas like genetic engineering and proteomics,” he said. Mr. Namperumalsamy added that the produced research must reach their rural counterparts.
Only then could doctors become complete physicians, he said.
Commissioner of Police S. Davidson Devasirvatham said that doctors sacrificed much of their time and effort to bring innovation to their field and make healthcare accessible.
More people should continue such work, he said.
A total of 1,230 delegates registered on the first day of the conference from across the country. R. Sivakumar, organising secretary, said that five international faculty would also be part of the three-day conference, which has ‘Tradition and Innovation’ as its theme.
