What Participants Say

Hear from past attendees about their experiences

At SRM MHRC, we have taken significant steps to integrate Universal Human Values and holistic health education into the curriculum… This goes beyond the core subjects, focusing on fostering empathy, ethics, and a deeper connection with patients… By embedding these values, we aim to prepare future healthcare professionals who are not only skilled but also compassionate and committed to addressing the root causes of health issues… This commitment reflects our vision of creating a healthcare system grounded in inclusivity and sustainability

The present healthcare systems often focus narrowly on treatment of the disease, mostly neglecting the inter connected ness of physical, mental, and social well-being... There is an urgent need to integrate traditional and modern medical practices, emphasize preventive care, and address the root causes of ill health... Including universal human values and holistic health principles in medical education will contribute to a more inclusive, sustainable, and compassionate healthcare system
