No fewer than 85 newly graduated medical doctors and eight Dental Surgeons of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) have pledged their commitment to contribute meaningfully towards transforming the health sector.
This was as the fresh medical graduates promised to also put the welfare of their patients as a top priority in the discharge of their duties.
They expressed the commitment during the induction ceremony, organized in their honour at the Indoor Sports Hall of the university as part of activities to formally induct and admit them into medical profession and practice. The New graduating medical doctors tagged: "Avant Guaritori - Next Healers," were commended for successfully scaling through the hurdles of medical school among the lots that were admitted into the programme six years ago.
According to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Farady Orumwense, UNIBEN has successfully discharged its duties by training and equipping the students to the present level and it is up to them to join the league of the university alumni spearheading change in the health sector.
While lauding the lecturers and members of staff of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) for their sacrifice and commitment over the past six years to train the students, he also thanked the parents of the newly inducted doctors for their encouragement and prayers that saw the students through medical school.
Also speaking, the Dean of Medicine Prof. Moses Momoh irged them to always make their parents proud, and that they should shun sharp practices as patients were becoming more aware of their rights and the law is no respecter of anybody.
