Chief Guest Dr. B. S Murty, Director, IIT, Hyderabad, said, “India has always been celebrated for its spirit of service. Yet, the true mark of a developed nation will be when ‘Made in India’ products find a place in every corner of the world. This vision can only be achieved when young minds are given the freedom to pursue what they are passionate about, for only a free and creative mind can build a developed nation. In the medical field, most devices used in India are still imported. To bridge this gap, IIT Hyderabad has launched a unique master’s program, M.Tech in Medical Device Innovation, designed to bring doctors and engineers together to create home-grown solutions. I strongly believe that medical professionals should step into research and innovation, helping India build a strong foothold in medical technology. There is tremendous potential for collaboration between us to drive innovation, make healthcare more accessible, and build a self-reliant India. Your profession demands dedication, sacrifice, and service, virtues that define greatness. I wish each of you immense success and fulfillment in your journey as healers, innovators, and nation-builders.”

On the occasion Guest of Honour Dr Sangita Reddy, said, “Medical technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and I am delighted to see you all as the torchbearers of this transformation. The future of healthcare will be radically different from what we know today. With the power of technology, we are moving from observing symptoms to interpreting signals, signals drawn from ECGs, wearable devices, and continuous monitoring systems, all intelligently processed through AI. Soon, our ICUs will be guided by early warning systems that can predict and prevent complications before they occur. Yet, amidst all this technological brilliance, we must remember that the true essence of healthcare lies in the blend of science and soul. When you put your heart into healing, when compassion meets innovation, that is when healthcare reaches its highest purpose and delivers its best outcomes.”

Dr. P V Nanda Kumar Reddy, Vice Chancellor, Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Warangal; said, Today Apollo is an iconic name in healthcare, it’s been poodible due to the vision and perseverance of Dr Prathap C. Reddy and in the recent years by Dr Sangita Reddy.
