11/08/2019, STAFF REPORTER,MADURAI
Doctors from across the globe came together to discuss specific topics on multiple specialities at the third edition of Foreign Medical Graduates Medical Conference here on Saturday.
Out of over 300 delegates, some came from countries like Russia, Sri Lanka, Germany also.
Chief Operating Officer, Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Rohini Shridhar, Chairman of Velammal Educational Trust M.V. Muthuramalingam, and Chairman of Preethi Hospital R. Sivakumar inaugurated the conference.
Dr. Shridhar said that the rising number of medical graduates was a boon to the Apollo group since they came with a sufficient expertise and administrative experience making it a win-win situation for the hospital.
Mr. Muthuramalingam said that the Velammal Medical Hospital had several students from foreign universities. Many of them chose to intern at the hospital and were role models to other students.
Dr. Sivakumar said that he expected a higher percentage of graduates to learn specialities suitable for the Indian context.
Organising chairman of the conference N. Chandran said, “Foreign graduates need not be looked as inferior doctors. They get a whiff of what life is all about by studying in foreign countries. If a doctor is passionate and is willing to travel to seek opportunities and make the country proud, then he or she is what we need.”
Oncologist and plastic surgeon and founder of Eurasian Federation of Oncology Somasundaram Subramanian spoke on early detection being the best method to cure cancer.
“The community must be educated about how early detection is done. I am a cancer survivor and it becomes the job of all communities including NGOs and journalists to create awareness,” he said.
