SOCIAL SERVICE GOALS
“From the time I have entered medical school, understanding the human
system has parallely triggered many hidden passions within me. Over time I
realized the importance of the human body particularly, the brain along with
compassion filled with spirituality, so this has driven me to excel in medical
science along with research innovation and social needs.
The gap between society and the medical system has paved the way for bridging the
system of what I refer to as Social Neurosciences. This includes awareness,
wellness, comprehensive management and all support services. In the bargain what
struck me mainly is the lack of pre-hospital care for accidents and medical
emergencies. Similarly, all the incurable illnesses keep constantly bothering me
to find a suitable solution,” says Dr N K Venkataramana.
