I believe the ultimate goal of every medical institution goes beyond imparting education alone, as it acts as a vehicle to serve humanity. As the Dean of Faculty of Medicine, the role which we play in today’s society is to motivate and inspire our students to take up this noble profession that seeks to ensure the well-being and welfare of humanity. It is not only the role of teaching but it is also the service of shaping and nurturing minds we are ready to depute for service. The elite experts who make up this faculty go on to play the pivotal role of guiding the students towards the path of knowledge. I believe that a strong research culture is the first step towards medical innovation, therefore we continuously engage our students in real-time research so as to seek solutions which provide the highest form of medical benefit. Another significant aspect which our students get to learn through this academic venture, is the unique ability to develop an attachment towards the people and society as whole. We engage our students in a series of community programs and welfare initiatives which nurture within them the heart of service. I welcome you to the Faculty of Medicine.
