Srinagar: Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Friday felicitated newly inducted office bearers at a function in Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar.

Welcoming the new office bearers, DAK President Dr Nisar ul Hassan expressed confidence that the new team will live up to the expectations of people and end sufferings of patients.

Speaking on the occasion, he said people have huge expectations from doctors and we should try to do our best to fulfill their expectations.

“We need to work together to reinvent the age-old bond between doctors and patients which is so essential for patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment,” he added.

Dr Suhail Shah who was appointed as the General Secretary of the Association said that he will do everything to restore the dignity and sacrosanctity of medical profession.
