New Delhi, Nov 13(UNI) Appreciating the work and dedication of the nursing profession, and calling them the strong and pivotal pillars of the healthcare delivery system, Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare Harsh Vardhan on Wednesday said “the depth of your work and sincerity cannot be defined adequately, such is your commitment”.
Presiding over the graduation ceremony of the Raj Kumari Amrit Kaur College of Nursing, here Dr Vardhan said the medical profession is one which gives an opportunity to serve humanity and within this, nurses work very closely with the patients and get to serve them more deeply.

Dr Vardhan is the first Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare to preside over the graduation ceremony of the Nursing College.

Your dedication, commitment and hard work have brought this day to you. This is not the end of the line. Your career starts now and sky is the limit.'
Dr Vardhan advised the graduates to keep in touch with the new innovations, developments and advances in medical science to ensure that they are abreast with the latest and best in the field, and which will spur them to further innovate bright ideas.
