“Sitaram Jaipuria was an outstanding humanitarian who led an exemplary and inspirational life, and so are our doctors who are on a continuous endeavor to safeguard the people of the nation. It is widely said that ‘A Doctor is a visible God on earth as through times of pain and illness we turn with faith to these medicine practitioners to comfort and cure us. They are often tested at the cost of their own life and family for the sake of humanity and the societies they serve. However, the exemplary work of the majority of these brave hearts goes unsung. Their contribution cannot be thanked enough, but recognizing their talent and bring them the deserved esteem is what we can do at our best. Through Medical & Healthcare Excellence Awards, we honour their presence in our lives, and this will be our continuous effort to spotlight medical talents.”
