My goal is not only to focus on comprehensive & overall development of OUHS but also to see all affiliated institutions under its umbrella excel in the field of academics/research & patient care. I strongly believe unless we improve patient care services academics & research will not improve so will take steps in creating the appropriate platform for all affiliated institutions to progress in this direction. I urge the faculties & students of all affiliated medical/dental and allied health sciences to join hands with the university & me in particular to reach our desired goal.
