Welcoming the gathering of about a hundred doctors, including those participating the orientation in Zoom Meet, Chancellor Mahbubul Hoque said that PIMC is a dream that is coming to reality. He spoke about the spirit behind building an institution and that the effort comes from everywhere, right from the housekeeping staff to the high officials.

Addressing the doctors’ community, he said, “Without the support and dedication of the doctors, the journey of PIMC is not possible. We want to extend healthcare facilities even to the poor who cannot afford them. In the next two to three years, we hope to work with a lot of expertise in the medical field. We always emphasize quality education and research.”

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Biraj Kumar Das, Principal designate of PIMC said, “PIMC will be one of the best institutes of India”. He said that those doctors who have already joined, are the creamy layer of the region.
