What is causing so many children in India to have heart problems? I always associated heart problems with older over weight people in Western countries like America. Heart problems before you’re 10 and running on the treadmill for life? This baffles me. Excellent doctor. I hope his concept spreads and lives on.
Devi Shetty is not only one of the best cardiac surgeons, he is one of the best human beings in the world. India should give him the highest national award. People knows film stars, criketars, politicians, very few know people like him who are working silently for humanity. As a nation, we also dont know how to appreciate the greatness of this kind of people. This is a mass ignorance not to know and appreciate the greatness of this people.
He is the greatest alumnus from my health check school…a right inspiration for all of us,a very humble man.Had the excellent fortune of meeting him once .Sir,continue to inspire us…
Incredible Doctor!!
Hatsoff Devi shetty, you are the best human being. May god give you the strength and support to extend health services to the india’s poor and needy. Hope the Indian govt takes your help and starts health care insurance diplomacy at the affordable costs.
@9661920 I could not agree with you more. Amitabh Bachchan was awarded some national prize for his performance in Paa, if you question me, he is not even fit enough to touch this man’s feet.
