Day 1:
Dr. Minu Bajpai, Executive Director of the National Board of Examinations and former Dean Academics AIIMS, delivered the keynote address expressing admiration for the work at this institution. Proposing collaboration, he envisions SMSIMSR as a key venue for practical exams in the national South India exam, and advocating our medical college as a centre for skill training.
The 2nd National Healthcare Hackathon was launched. Our innovative students are joining forces virtually to tackle global healthcare challenges. Prepare for cutting-edge solutions and tech-driven interventions!
Sri Madhusudan Sai highlighted the comprehensive care provided by hospitals like ours, stating, "No out-of-pocket expense for the patient at all." Our efficient and cost-effective hospital models demonstrate the potential for further reducing per-patient costs with support from various sectors, including policymakers, charitable organizations, and Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives therefore making accessibility to healthcare equal for all.
Day 1 of the Global Healthcare Conference concluded on a harmonious note with a musical performance by the talented Students and Staff of the Music Department from Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence and SMSIMSR.
Sri Madhusudan Sai, wrapping up the evening, shared on the significance of good music. He emphasised its positive effects on mental and physical health, expressing hope that the medical field recognises its importance and integrates it into holistic healthcare practices.
Day 2:
Day 2 of the Global Healthcare Conference 2023 kicked off with a powerful message: while good health is priceless, healthcare has unfortunately become an expensive commodity. That’s why Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (SMSIMSR) is challenging market norms by providing quality education and healthcare free of charge, breaking down social and financial barriers.
In the inspiring "Chiranjeevi Bhava" segment, six patients, triumphant after successful treatment at our hospital, were honoured with the Gift of Life certificates.
Six awards were presented to outstanding individuals who not only achieved remarkable success in their professional fields but also supported institutions like ours, contributing significantly to societal betterment.
A special highlight was Ms. Megha Vaid, recipient of the Excellence Award for Innovation in Pharma. She proudly announced that Concord Biotech is set to sign an MoU with our nutrition program, Annapoorna, expanding our services in Gujarat.
Sri Madhusudan Sai emphasised the importance of constructive partnerships as the way forward. No one can tackle global challenges alone, that’s why he promotes the 3S model – the synergy of Sarkara (government), Samaja (society), and Samstha (institutions like ours). Through collaborative efforts, we can transform more lives and address the country's and the world's challenges.
Sri Madhusudan Sai hosted Mr. Dinesh Gundu Rao the Minister of Health and Family Welfare today. He visited the Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (SMSIMSR) and attended the valedictory function of the Global Healthcare Conference 2023.
Mr. Dinesh Gundu Rao expressed deep appreciation for the institute's significant contributions in the realm of selfless service. He assured government support to help extend these noble efforts, reaching and benefiting a broader spectrum of people.
