Such acts of violence will not weaken our determination to heal, protect and serve our society and nation,” WAC said.
Consultant Doctors Association J&K also strongly condemned the bomb attack in Delhi which killed 15 civilians. “The alleged involvement of individuals from the medical profession is extremely disturbing and, if proven, represents a serious betrayal of healing values and ethics.
