Mangalore, November 1: The year-long silver jubilee celebrations observed by Father Muller College of Nursing came to a close in a grand finale at the Academy Hall in the college campus on Thursday.

Addressing the gathering, Archbishop of Bangalore Dr Bernard Moras said that there has been remarkable growth in the health care sector in India. The rise in trained personnel and health care facilities has tremendously helped the sector to grow along with globalisation. Due to super-speciality hospitals mushrooming in the country, new trends in health care are being born in nursing and medical tourism. Factors such as advancement in technology, radiology, innovations of penicillin, antibiotics and anaesthesia, have transformed people and health care industry. All these have enabled people to lead a longer life, he said.

“At present, we are at the cusp of a new revolution, bordering on finding an entirely new way of managing health care delivery through genetics. To be healthy and fully alive is everyone's dream on this earth. To function in this industry, it is necessary to work with full commitment,” he said.

President of Trained Nurses Association of India Sr Gilbert F C C said that interpersonal interactions prescribed by many nursing graduates are rather out-dated in this rapidly changing and complex era. Few reasons are the lack of teaching skills in faculty, inadequate infrastructure and graduates fail in adapting from classroom techniques to real-life situations. Graduates emerging from the college need to raise the standard of nursing in the state, she said.

Delivering the presidential address, Bishop of Mangalore Dr Aloysius Paul D'Souza said that one's profession and career was a vocation. “But you will not find joy unless you make it your mission; a mission to show sympathy and empathy towards the suffering. Share their suffering and serve with love, then you will find true joy. When you serve people, you serve the children of god,” he said, giving a message to the students of nursing.

Former directors, administrators, principals and alumni of FMCON were felicitated on the occasion. A souvenir commemorating the silver jubilee year celebration was released by Dr Bernard Moras. Organising secretary Darryl Aranha read out the presentation report.

Director of FMCON Fr Patrick Rodrigues welcomed the gathering, while Principal Sr Winnifred D'Souza proposed a vote of thanks. Administrator Fr Denis D'Sa was present.
