Respected Dr. Sudha Murty garu,
We are truly blessed to have you on SVIMS soil once again- a hearty welcome
on behalf of SVIMS family!
It so happens that I am in USA on the august occasion of your visit to SVIMS,
and it is my loss to be missing you and your wisdom during the visit. While
I am making US trip on personal grounds , I am honoured to be Invited as
Visiting Scholar at Harvard Global Health Institute during July 17-19, and
asked to share my Indian experience in healthcare quality; it gives me an
opportunity to firm up ties with SVIMS, as we have signed an MoU recently
with Harvard.
You will note during your visit that, our financial conditions
notwithstanding, we are on rapid growth and a steep trajectory towards
excellence on national and global scale.
Some of the unique achievements are:
-
notching up in NIRF and other
rankings,
-
displaying our Quality/Patient Safety metrics in public domain,
-
creating southeast Asia’s largest dialysis facility, crossing cardiac
milestones of over 10,000 angioplasties and the largest number of primary
angioplasties in public sector,
-
building the region’s best integrated trauma
program,
-
opening International Training Center of American Heart Association,
-
training the largest number of lay citizens in CPR(10,000 and
counting...), creating 13L Sq ft infrastructure in the last three years
alone (compared with 8 L sq ft during the prior 22 years)
-
opening the second
“women only “medical college in India,
-
building a state level viral
diagnostic research laboratory(VRDL)...and ...the biggest community outreach
program of the state, including the soon to be launched, Women’s Cancer
Initiative of Rayalaseema.
As
we discussed during your last visit, sustaining such effort needs commitment
and funding from TTD and AP Govt. The comparisons will be shown to you again
during your visit, that will undoubtedly convey that SVIMS offers VALUE.
In
the service of Lord Venkateswara and humanity
With utmost regards,
Prof.(Dr) T.S.Ravikumar
