Dr. Balram Bhargava, former director general of ICMR, asserts that while AI is transforming healthcare, it cannot replace the essential qualities of compassion and empathy found in physicians. Speaking at GITAM University's graduation ceremony, he highlighted the importance of the doctor-patient relationship in fostering trust and comfort, which are crucial for patient recovery. He encouraged graduates to continuously enhance their medical knowledge and soft skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving field.
The event celebrated the graduation of 305 students from various medical programs, emphasizing India's growing reputation in medical tourism. Dr. Bhargava's remarks serve as a reminder that technology, while beneficial, cannot replicate the human touch that is vital in healthcare. The integration of empathy with medical expertise is what truly distinguishes healthcare professionals and enhances patient care.
• AI cannot replicate the compassion and empathy of physicians.
