"You are true architects of a healthier future": Director, AIIMS lauds doctors on National Doctors' Day

New Delhi [India], July 1 (ANI): On the occasion of National Doctors' Day, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, honoured the vital role of doctors across India and beyond, praising their compassion, dedication, and resilience in advancing medical care through both traditional service and cutting-edge innovation. AIIMS Delhi joined the entire nation in expressing their highest gratitude and utmost respect on July 1 --National Doctors' Day. On the occasion, Dr (Prof) M Srinivas, Director, AIIMS, New Delhi, said, 'Let us take this moment not only to celebrate our doctors but also to think about the significance of empathy, integrity, and lifelong learning in the pursuit of healing and hope. Thank you so much, all doctors: We appreciate your service, sacrifice, solidarity, and spirit. You are the true architects of a healthier future.' 'This day is not merely a ceremonial occasion but a moving tribute to the compassion, brilliance, and determination with which doctors serve humanity,' Stated AIIMS Delhi in a statement. 'In contemporary terms, the practice of medicine includes AI-assisted diagnosis, robotic precision surgeries, and a solo practitioner located somewhere in rural India, where the lone doctor looks after complete care. From the most advanced ICUs to the most neglected terrains, they are all united by a common cause--that of standing together in the service of life,' it said 'At AIIMS, we pride ourselves on working with some of the finest minds and the kindest hearts--doctors of moral calibre, who excel, adapt to technological frontiers, and demonstrate uncompromised great solidarity with their patients and their fellow doctors,' said AIIMS Delhi. Earlier, PM Modi wished all Doctors on the occasion, 'Best wishes to all hardworking doctors on Doctors Day. Our doctors have made a mark for their dexterity and diligence. Equally notable is their spirit of compassion. They are truly protectors of health and pillars of humanity. Their contribution in strengthening India's healthcare infrastructure is indeed exceptional.' In India, National Doctors' Day is celebrated on July 1. The celebration of Doctors' Day is an attempt to emphasise the value of doctors in our lives and to offer them our respect by commemorating one of their greatest representatives. (ANI)

While no single food causes or prevents cancer on its own, consistent dietary patterns can either increase or reduce your risk of developing the disease.A diet high in processed and red meats, sugary beverages, and refined carbohydrates is linked to a greater risk of cancers such as colorectal, stomach, and pancreatic. These foods often promote chronic inflammation, obesity, and insulin resistance—all of which are key contributors to cancer development. Additionally, cooking meats at high temperatures (grilling, frying, or barbecuing) can produce carcinogenic substances like heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic the other hand, diets rich in plant-based foods—such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts—are associated with a lower risk of many cancers. These foods are packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals that protect cells from damage, regulate hormones, and support the immune system. For example, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower contain compounds that help the body detoxify potential also plays a critical role. Obesity is a well-established risk factor for at least 13 types of cancer.

Himachal seeking to boost healthcare through facilities for robotic surgery

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh is witnessing a transformation in the health sector, as Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's vision of providing world-class medical facilities to the people is now becoming a reality, an official release said. The Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialities at Chamiyana in Shimla is set to become the first medical institute in the state where surgeries will be performed using the latest robotic technology. A state-of-the-art surgical robot , procured at Rs 28 crore on the lines of AIIMS Delhi, has already arrived at Chamiyana, and the installation process will be completed by July, after which surgeries using this advanced technology will begin. Principal of the Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialities at Chamiyana, Dr Brij Lal, today here said that robotic surgery would benefit both patients and doctors. He explained that only a very small incision is required in robotic procedures, which means less blood loss and minimal need for transfusions. The patients experience less pain, recover faster and can be discharged from the hospital sooner. The surgeons, too, will benefit from this technology as robotic systems would provide them better precision and control. They do not feel fatigued even during long surgeries, which allows them to perform more procedures in less time. The system also offers a clear and magnified 3D view inside narrow and complex areas of the body and reduces the chances of any errors, the release said. Following the directions of the Chief Minister, the robotic surgery equipment will soon be delivered to Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College, Tanda as well. Thereafter, the machines will be installed in IGMC Shimla, Medical College Hamirpur and other government medical colleges in a phased manner. This will benefit thousands of patients across the state and reduce the need to travel outside Himachal for expensive surgeries, the release said.
