The award was presented by District Governor Chella K. Raghavendar during a ceremony attended by senior leadership of [Sri Ramakrishna Hospital](chatgpt://generic-entity?number=3), including Joint Managing Trustee Narendran, Medical Director Dr S. Rajagopal, Medical Superintendent Dr S. Alagappan and a team of doctors.

Ramkumar was honoured for his sustained efforts in the ‘Gift of Life’ project, a joint initiative between Sri Ramakrishna Hospital and the Rotary Club of SaiCity. The programme focuses on providing free heart surgeries for children suffering from congenital heart defects, offering life-saving treatment to underprivileged families.

Through this initiative, several children have received timely medical intervention, enabling them to lead healthier lives. The project has been recognised as a significant community healthcare effort, demonstrating the impact of collaboration between medical institutions and service organisations.

During the event, speakers highlighted that each surgery under the initiative represents not just medical care but renewed hope for families who otherwise lack access to specialised treatment. The Rotary Club reiterated its commitment to supporting such humanitarian efforts in the region.

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.
