Referring to the pathology rapid review course being organised by the Sri Ramachandra Medical College, she said that the field of pathology was crucial in diagnosing and in facilitating the right treatment.
“The discipline of pathology is witnessing the use of advanced digital technologies and the use of Artificial Intelligence. Going for the treatment without pathology reports is like going to the war without arms. Pathology reports play vital role in any treatment process,” she added.
The Governor exhorted the medical professionals to strive for excellence with utmost dedication and commitment in their chosen fields to serve the needy.
