Agartala, Tripura, 28th of August, 2025 : Doctors must carry out their duties with utmost dedication while serving the public. Only then can the people’s trust in the state’s healthcare system be strengthened. To maintain a healthy atmosphere in hospitals, both doctors and patients families must adhere to their responsibilities. Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha said this while inaugurating the 20th Foundation Day celebration of Tripura Medical College and Dr. B.R.
