Minister challenges new healthcare workers to become ‘great’

Public Health Minister Volda Lawrence has challenged the latest batch of 21 recently-graduated healthcare professionals to strive to become great and not settle for being good.

“The good physician treats the disease (but) the great physician treats the patient who has the disease,” Lawrence in her keynote address said quoting Sir William Oster, one of the founding professors of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, in the United States.
