Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Borah said, ““I would like to express our gratitude to our employees and media for their significant contribution in helping GNRC progress towards its mission of achieving ‘Health for All, Smiles for All’ for everyone in the society irrespective of their social and economic status. We have structured this organization intending to deliver excellence across all clinical specialties. I am extremely fortunate to work with a selfless, dedicated, and truly professional group of individuals who share my mission of making healthcare affordable to everyone.”
“This is the time to focus our attention to preventive healthcare too. So that we work for keeping the society healthy & disease-free rather than treating them when they are sick. GNRC is working relentlessly on Preventive Healthcare with the extremely enthusiastic and dedicated Swasthyamitras across the state under a very promising & unique model – GNRC Affordable Health Mission,” he added.
