Excellence in Medicine 2024


Medical breakthroughs and innovations have significantly shaped the past century. However, it is also an unfortunate reality that during this time, the overall health of the average individual has declined. The prevalence of conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks, cancer, and mental health issues has increased. The future of healthcare relies on doctors, practitioners, and physicians who prioritize their patients’ well-being, resisting the pressures of competition and financial incentives. The Visvamitra Award for Medicine will honor those healthcare professionals for whom patient health is of utmost importance.
