White coat ceremony for MBBS students held
Apollo Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (AIMSR), Hyderabad, held its White Coat Ceremony for 152 first-year MBBS students of the 2026 batch at the Ravi Narayana Reddy Auditorium in MLA Colony, Hyderabad.
The ceremony marked the students’ entry into medical education and introduced them to the responsibilities associated with the profession. Faculty members, parents and institutional representatives attended the event.
Dr. K. Subba Reddy, Director of Medical Services, Telangana Region, Apollo Hospitals, attended as Chief Guest. Other dignitaries included Dr. K. Manohar, Dean of AIMSR; Aparna Reddy, Chief Operating Officer; and Dr. Sathyanarayana Reddy, Medical Superintendent.
The programme began with an academic orientation session by Dr. Neetha Kundoor, Associate Dean, Academics, who outlined the academic journey and responsibilities awaiting the incoming students. The Chief Guest, Dean, senior management and department heads then presented the white coats to the students.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Subba Reddy highlighted the importance of combining medical knowledge and clinical skills with compassion, humility and professional accountability. He also discussed the four principles of medical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and distributive justice. He encouraged students to respect patient rights, avoid harm and provide care without discrimination.
Dr. Manohar spoke about the values of sincerity, service and sacrifice, emphasising that medicine requires continuous learning and a commitment to treating every patient with dignity. He also reminded students that the principle of “Do no harm” should guide their practice.
Aparna Reddy noted that the white coat represents trust, responsibility, integrity and compassion. She encouraged students to listen to patients, respect their dignity and approach their education with discipline and perseverance.
