Abstract

A strong foundation of health providers is essential for becoming competent in quality health services with compassion. Medical students’ learning needs to be for quality life with a healthy body-mind and wellness of service users, without or with disorders that cannot be cured. For this, what could be better than learning with Gandhian ideology? Medical education and accreditation of organizations require medical ethics and humanities in education to develop professionalism in medical learners, yet there has never been a comprehensive critical appraisal of medical education in ethics and humanities, which Gandhian ways inculcate. In addition to biological knowledge, physicians must have an understanding of behavioral and social aspects of health and disease.
