He asked the officials to be more receptive to feedback and work towards bridging the gap between ground realities and public expectations.

During a visit to Hindu Rao Hospital and Medical College, which also houses a nursing college, the L-G said, “By aligning our nursing training with global standards & best practices, we can equip our health professionals with international expertise, enable them to gain work experience abroad- based on global needs, and bring back advanced healthcare skills to India.”
