Governor Singh Highlights Duty Towards Humanity
Governor Singh began his address by congratulating the new graduates and acknowledging their achievements. He reminded them that their education had prepared them not only for employment but also for a life of service. He said that every doctor, nurse, and paramedical worker has the duty to heal and comfort patients with humility. According to him, true success in the medical field lies not only in technical knowledge but also in the ability to treat patients with respect and kindness.
He further stated that the healthcare profession demands constant commitment and courage. As medical professionals, graduates must adapt to new challenges, particularly in an evolving world affected by climate change, pandemics, and mental health issues. Singh also called upon the students to remain lifelong learners, emphasizing that learning never ends for those who wish to serve humanity effectively.
Focus on Ethical Practices and Professional Dedication
The Governor underlined the importance of ethics in healthcare. He mentioned that integrity should remain at the core of every decision, as medical practitioners often face situations that test their moral compass. He urged the graduates to make choices guided by compassion rather than profit, stressing that a strong moral foundation builds trust between healthcare providers and communities.
Governor Singh also applauded RIPANS for producing a skilled and empathetic workforce that has strengthened Mizoram’s healthcare sector. He expressed confidence that the institute’s alumni would continue to raise the standards of care across the region. Moreover, he pointed out that compassion and professionalism are deeply interconnected. Without empathy, even the most advanced medical techniques can lose their meaning.
He encouraged students to take their learning beyond textbooks. According to him, listening to patients, understanding their fears, and showing genuine care are as vital as providing the right diagnosis or treatment. This human connection, Singh explained, forms the essence of true healing.
Encouragement for Rural and Underserved Communities
During his speech, Singh highlighted the urgent need for qualified professionals in rural and remote areas. He appealed to the graduates to consider serving in underserved regions where access to quality healthcare remains limited. By working in such areas, young professionals can bring hope to those who need it most. He added that serving these communities is not just a job but a calling that reflects the spirit of selflessness and compassion.
Governor Singh also mentioned that Mizoram, being a hilly and remote state, faces unique challenges in delivering healthcare services. Therefore, he encouraged the graduates to use their skills to bridge the gap and ensure healthcare reaches even the most isolated villages. Their commitment, he said, would contribute to achieving the national goal of equitable and accessible healthcare for all.
A Vision for the Future of Healthcare in Mizoram
The Governor commended RIPANS for its consistent contribution to the medical and paramedical sectors. He appreciated the institute’s efforts in maintaining academic excellence and research-oriented learning. According to him, institutions like RIPANS play a vital role in empowering young professionals with knowledge and compassion. He encouraged the faculty to continue nurturing values of empathy, discipline, and innovation in every batch.
Singh expressed hope that Mizoram would continue to evolve as a center of healthcare excellence. He said the combined efforts of graduates, educators, and policymakers can transform the state’s health system. Moreover, he reminded the audience that technological advancements must always align with ethical and humane principles.
He concluded by urging students to uphold the dignity of their profession through honesty and compassion. By serving with dedication, he said, they can make a meaningful difference in society and inspire others to follow their example.
