In his remarks, Ramkumar dedicated the award to the leadership of SNR Sons Charitable Trust, particularly Managing Trustee Dr Sundar Ramakrishnan and the Board of Trustees, acknowledging their role in shaping the institution’s service-oriented vision. He stated that the recognition belongs to the entire hospital community, including doctors, staff and partners involved in the initiative.

He also emphasised that healthcare is fundamentally driven by compassion and that the true value of such efforts lies in improving lives. He expressed gratitude to the Rotary Club and Rotary District 3206 for their continued collaboration and support.

Sri Ramakrishna Hospital reaffirmed its commitment to expanding community healthcare programmes and strengthening initiatives like the Gift of Life project, focusing on accessible and compassionate medical care.
