Dr. A. Marthanda Pillai, the new national president of the
Indian Medical Association (IMA), has announced that the focus of his team
would be to impart training to develop soft skills of doctors and fight
corruption by evolving IMA's own code of conduct.
"IMA will ensure that healthcare services are made a fundamental
right. Giving a glimpse of the national health scenario. India lagged far
behind in providing public access to even basic services like safe drinking
water, sanitation and nutrition and clean water, forget about secondary and
tertiary healthcare," Pillai said.
