Speaking on the ‘Changing scenario of health system and health research in India’, Professor Ganguly motivated the new students to keep the PGI flag flying high.

“We have to take medicine to the doorstep of the common man ending its compartmentalisation. The new genetics have shown that medicine can be personalised as each individual/community has its own specific problems,” he added.

PGI Director Professor K K Talwar also addressed the students and said, “In today’s highly competitive world, a premier institute like PGIMER cannot rest on its past laurels. In order to move with the times, we have to constantly widen our intellectual horizons by looking forward to new opportunities and strengthening our infrastructure. We must develop new models for management of diseases and translate them into solutions for the ailing humanity.”
