Which two facilities inaugurated at the institute did the Vice-President describe as significant for keeping medical education aligned with technological progress?
- A.Telemedicine and organ transplant units
- B.Robotic Surgery and Computer-Aided Diagnosis
- C.Nuclear medicine and genome sequencing labs
- D.Trauma care and burns treatment centres
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Robotic Surgery and Computer-Aided Diagnosis. The Vice-President said the graduating doctors are entering healthcare at an extraordinary time, with artificial intelligence, robotics, digital health, advanced imaging and precision medicine changing the sector, and in that setting he called the opening of these two facilities significant. He balanced the point by stressing that technology can assist a doctor but cannot replace the human side of the work, because a patient still needs someone who will listen, understand, reassure and take responsibility. Options A, C and D each list services that hospitals do provide, but none of them is named as inaugurated at this ceremony, so all three are wrong. Aspirants should link the two facilities with the wider message that scientific excellence and human compassion have to travel together in medicine.
