The Senior General said:

Comrades,

Today is the graduation day of the 2nd Intake of the Defence Services Institute of Medicine. As you all have learnt military science and medical subjects, you are about to be assigned duties in the Tatmadaw. Just as today is the day when you put up a significant milestone in your life, so it is also the day when the Tatmadaw gets added strength. On such a significant and noble day, I would, in all seriousness, like to exhort you all I have to say.

As you all have lived the life of the Tatmadawmen, you are required to be good Tatmadawmen. In addition, you all are medical scientists, you are required to be well-versed in the respective fields.

Our Tatmadaw is a patriotic Tatmadaw born in the struggle for independence. As the people and the Tatmadaw have been living with a sense of oneness, the Tatmadaw wins the love of the people. The Tatmadaw abides by discipline conscientiously, so it wins the respects of the people. As it has perseverance, diligence and the ability to overcome any difficulty, the people place reliance on it.

Therefore, you all are required to regard the areas where you are assigned duties as your native, and to work in the interests of the people. Whoever you meet, you are to take care of them as your parents and relations. You all are to behave and speak well to ensure that you entertain a feeling of togetherness with the people.

In addition, to become good Tatmadawmen, you all are required to bear good morals. You are to have loving-kindness, sympathy and consideration for others. If you abide by 60 Soldier’s Codes of Conduct, you are naturally imbued with these qualities. So, you all are to firmly stick to Soldier’s Codes of Conduct, the moral precepts of the Tatmadaw.

April2400002.jpg (9426 bytes)

Comrades,

You all have undergone military exercises which platoon commanders have to take. Therefore, when it comes to national defence duties, you all are able to discharge duties at battle fields like those from battalions. You all are to have moral and physical courage. You are to have enough courage to make decisions yourself and to be able to fight battle. You are to be able to provide leadership for your subordinates in order that they work together under one command to accomplish the mission.

To become a leader in whom subordinates put their trust and confidence, you all are to live and practise in accord with leadership qualities. As some members of the medical units fought the enemies courageously and valiantly, they were awarded medals for gallantry. Although you all are members of the medical units, you need to be determined to put on show your gallantry based on patriotism.

As you are Tatmadaw-men medical practitioners, I would like to say matters related to medical science. As you all know, there is a saying which runs "Health is a blessing." If I have to add a little to it, health is more important than wealth. It is only when one is healthy that one can be physically and mentally strong and efficient. If one, however rich, is not healthy, there is no point in one’s being rich.

Comrades,

I would like to explain the saying "The older a medical practitioner, the more efficient he is." In this place, the word "old’ is metaphorically used to mean "having long experience and having studied a lot." Everybody must have understood this fact. Therefore, to acquire much experience in a short time, you all are to seek experience in earnest irrespective of time and place. In order not to lose the already-acquired experience, you have to "record it." By reviewing this record, you are to be able to create lessons. If you make efforts to conduct research on these lessons, you will become a reliable practitioner in the prime of life. Every promising person has unsatiable desire to promote their ability. Those who do not have foresight will be lagged behind others.

Comrades,

Today, the four-year special plans for promotion of national education are being implemented in the State. The medical sector is also covered by the plans. Encouragement has been given to research work of international standard with the aim of improving health care.

In order to uplift standard of medical science and to be able to keep pace with the development trend of international medical science, medical curriculum has already been revised. Therefore, you all are to conduct research to make progress. You all are also to carry out research work as well as finding new remedies individually or in groups. Only then, will the health sector of the State and the Tatmadaw be independent.

The members of the medical unit, upholding the motto "goodwill, loving-kindness and safety", are to implement the objective of providing health care for the Tatmadawmen and their families regardless of place and time. You all are to seriously bear in mind the fact that the aim of the Tatmadaw Medical Unit is to contribute to the national defence strength.

Comrades,

You all, being patriotic Tatmadawmen, are required to serve the people with your knowledge and skill. As we are today building a new, peaceful, modern and developed nation in cooperation with the entire national people, that all the citizens are healthy, strong and fit is a fundamental national requirement. Therefore, the National Health Committee is implementing national health plans. The tasks of providing national health care are being carried out with the objectives — to enable every citizen to attain full life expectancy and enjoy longevity and to ensure that every citizen is free from disease. So, you all, true to members of the patriotic Tatmadaw, are to take part in national health care tasks energetically.

I would like to say matters related to Union Spirit to you who are about to discharge duties in various regions. In our nation, since the dawn of the recorded history, national races have been living together. After moving from place to place where land and water are available for the better life, national races have lived together in states and divisions. Therefore, you all are to work for the flourishing of Union Spirit which inspires all the national races to cherish and treasure their one and only country and to work for her development.

Comrades,

In order to ensure the shining of the motto of the Defence Services Institute of Medicine "Victorious medical practitioner soldiers", I would like to urge you all to set an excellent example and lead the life of a good Tatmadawman, to nurture yourselves to be imbued with leadership qualities in order to become victorious soldiers ready for action in the battle field, to do your utmost to become researchers who uplift the quality of the Defence Services Medical Unit, to take care of the health of the Tatmadawmen and their families with goodwill and to energetically take part in the national health care tasks, true to the members of the patriotic Tatmadaw.Then, the Senior General left the parade ground.The Senior General also met with two outstanding graduates and their parents at the main hall.

Excerpts from Senior General’s address

duties as your native, and to work in the interests of the people.
