He said that doctors are venerated like Gods and this belief must be maintained. President Ramnath Kovind was addressing KGMU Lucknow's 16th convocation through video conferencing today.

He said that doctors should not take patients as just medical cases but develop compassion and sensitivity towards them.
He emphasized that the duty of doctors is to take care of poor people. Expressing satisfaction at the increasing number of women in the medical profession he said that KGMU is doing tremendously in this direction. He appealed doctors to maintain Indian identity in the field of better treatment.
