‘Doctors, nurses are like two pillars of a hospital'
Mysuru: Senior consultant surgical oncologist and robotic surgeon at
Bharath Hospital and Institute of Oncology
(BHIO), Dr Vijaykumar said that doctors and nurses are like two pillars of a hospital or two wheels of a bullock cart.
Speaking after inaugurating
International Nurses Day
celebrations at Bharath Cancer Hospital on Sunday, he highlighted the critical role of nursing in modern healthcare. Dr Vijaykumar also praised the dedication and compassion of nursing staff, stating, "Hospitals cannot function without nurses. They are the backbone of any healthcare facility, providing continuous patient monitoring and serving as true caregivers."
Speaking on the occasion, principal of Gopala Gowda College of Nursing Dr GS Shashidara emphasised the emotional and ethical aspects of nursing.
"Nursing is a profession that requires love, empathy, and sympathy. Nurses play a key role in the healing process by being present with patients throughout their hospital journey—from admission to discharge—identifying discomfort and responding promptly. Their care accelerates recovery and reduces hospital stays.
"
Principal of Holdsworth Memorial College of Nursing Dr KP Dakshayani noted the connection between quality nursing and institutional excellence.
