The former president revealed that he was asked by a young medical girl student as he entered the hospital what his message was to her, and he replied that “she needs to develop a kind heart towards the patients. You already have a heart, but what you need to have to succeed as a doctor is a kind heart." He maintained that a hospital's success lays in quality treatment and medical excellence.
Dr Kalam emphasised the need to tap solar energy by hospitals and create greenery around them to ensure serene atmosphere. He outlined six virtues in the context of medical care. They are generosity, ethics, tolerance, perseverance, concentration and intelligence.
