Ragging a violation of human rights

THRISSUR: Ragging is a serious violation of human rights, said Health Secretary Usha Titus.

Presenting a paper on ''Challenges faced by medical fraternity'' organised by Jubilee Mission Medical College here on Saturday, she said that even in foreign countries ragging of the sort found in our country was unheard of.

She said that it was the fundamental responsibility of the doctor to give primary care to his patients. Over-specialisation and compartmentalisation were detrimental to patients.

District Collector M Beena presided over the function. Jubilee Mission Medical College principal Dr V K Ramankutty, director Fr Dr Francis Alapatt and college union chairman A Ahmed also spoke.

Beware! Ragging in any form is a criminal offence,Technology has also become an inescapable aspect of the preparation process. There are safety apps which acts as a personal safety equipment in your mobile phone which works at a press of single button and u can send alert to your trusted contacts. Eyewatch is one of the app, which you can try. For more info. Visit the site.
