Vice-Senior General Soe Win emphasized the importance of upholding higher personal ethics, not only as disciplined and exemplary soldiers but also as nurses and medical practitioners.

State Administration Council Vice-Chairman Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Commander-in-Chief (Army) Vice-Senior General Thiri Pyanchi Maha Thray Sithu Soe Win, on behalf of SAC Chairman Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Thadoe Maha Thray Sithu Thadoe Thiri Thudhamma Min Aung Hlaing, delivered an address at the passing out parade of the 22nd Intake of the Nursing and Paramedical Sciences and the ninth Intake of Female Nursing and Paramedical Sciences of the Defence Services Institute of Nursing and Paramedical Sciences at its parade ground in Yangon yesterday morning.

The Vice-Senior General took the salute of the graduate companies and inspected these companies. The graduate companies marched past the Vice-Senior General.

The Vice-Senior General presented the Best Trainee Award to trainee Hsu Myat Yadana in the ninth Intake of the Female Nursing and Paramedical Sciences, the Excellent in Training Award to trainee Su Pon Chit and the Excellent in Studies Award to trainee Shwe Sin Min Tun.

Speaking on the occasion, the Vice-Senior General, on behalf of the Senior General, delivered a speech. He said: The institute has so far turned out 5,573 graduates in different professions, post-graduate diploma, masters’ degree and doctoral degrees.

In the context of public healthcare services, it is essential for healthcare professionals, as exemplary citizens, to carry out their duties with genuine compassion and dedication, without discrimination based on gender. These duties encompass treatment and care, disease diagnosis, prevention, health promotion, and rehabilitation.

As soldiers, being individuals who must mutually protect and safeguard each other’s lives on the battlefield, it is essential to uphold loyalty and respect among one another, as well as between ranks. Only through such loyalty can mutual trust be built, enabling the successful execution of all tasks. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the sixty military codes of conduct as steadfastly as one wears a soldier’s uniform and to strive to serve as exemplary models of discipline and morality.

In the present time, when both domestic and foreign destructive forces are attempting to disrupt unity within the military through various methods, military personnel must uphold a spirit of unity that stands shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart. The unity within the Tatmadaw is of paramount importance, akin to life itself. If all Tatmadaw members and their families share the same understanding, perspective, beliefs, and convictions, the unity within the Tatmadaw will remain enduring and steadfast.

Not only as disciplined and exemplary soldiers but also as nurses and medical practitioners, it is essential to uphold higher standards of personal ethics than usual.

Moreover, since it is necessary to engage in battles alongside infantry units on the battlefield, apart from hospitals and medical corps, it is crucial to cultivate and maintain virtues such as camaraderie, compassion, loyalty, and dedication effectively.

Also present at the ceremony were Daw Than Than Nwe, wife of the Vice-Senior General, Commander-in-Chief (Navy) Admiral Zeya Kyaw Htin Htein Win and his wife, Commander-in-Chief (Air) General Zeya Kyaw Htin Sithu Tun Aung and his wife, union-level dignitaries and their wives, senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief and their wives, the Yangon Region Chief Minister and his wife and officials.

After taking the salute of the graduate companies, the Vice-Senior General left the parade ground.

At the hall of the institute headquarters, the Vice-Senior General met outstanding trainees.

In the evening, the Vice-Senior General attended the graduation dinner of the 22nd Intake of the Nursing and Paramedical Sciences and the ninth Intake of Female Nursing and Paramedical Sciences and had the dinner together with the graduate nurses and dignitaries.

The Vice-Senior General presented cash awards to the military band of the institute for its musical entertainment.

They also enjoyed the entertainment of the Myawady Entertainment Troupe at the Institute Thabin Hall.
