Medical profession one of the most sacred: Eatala Rajender

Karimnagar: Health Minister Eatala Rajender on Sunday said that the State government will support the medical profession in the State.

Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that medical profession was one of the most sacred professions of all, yet doctors in the recent times have been attacked by family members of patients putting the safety of doctors at risk.

The TRS government will give tight security to doctors and hospitals to prevent any untoward incidents, Eatala said.

Due to enormous development in science and technology, the doctors were trying to utilise these developments and provide better treatment patients, he pointed out.

The government was not only providing free medical services to the patients through Aarogyasri but also through Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF). Through CMRF the government was helping poor patients get better treatment, he added.

The IMA will develop further in the coming up days under his leadership, he opined. BC Welfare and Civil Supply Minister Gangula Kamalakar while speaking on the occasion said that one cannot imagine the society without doctors.
