Shri B. Nagi Reddi's Birth Centenary Celebration - Launch Press Meet

CEO's Speech [ Mrs. B. Bharathi Reddy, CEO - Vijaya Group of Hospitals ] I am indeed proud and honored to be associated with Vijaya Group of Hospitals as CEO trying to cherish our founder Shri B.Nagi Reddi’s dreams by delivering quality service at affordable cost. Shri B.Nagi Reddi Garu was a visionary in whatever he chose to do and rose to a commanding position in the fields of printing and publishing, film and health care. He held some of the most powerful positions, yet he remained a quiet philanthropist, a simple and humble human being, who stayed true to his conscience and wanting nothing more than to make this world a better place through his various endeavours. His contribution to the Film Industry as we all know was phenomenal and every movie that he produced was a wholesome Family entertainer. He always dreamt of giving back to the society what he had gained from it and that is how Vijaya Group of Hospitals was born 38 years ago. It was the first multispecialty hospital of its kind in South India.  Today we are proud to say that it has one of the best cardio thoracic unit specializing in all types of cardiac care, we have already reached the 10,000 mark in beating heart surgeries. Our urology department has completed 800 Renal transplants till date with excellent post operative treatment & care.

This year we are proud of achieving our national board accreditation from Quality Council of India for standardization of all parameters in patient care.  As most of you are aware that our hospital is one of the oldest and largest Institution yet we achieved this accreditation with complete support from all our Staff & Consultants. We are also very happy to have affiliated our hospital to The Tamil Nadu Dr.M.G.R.Medical University for Allied Health Science courses which will groom youngsters with promising careers in the future.

Some of the most prominent event for our centenary year is releasing a postage stamp on our founder. We also plan to do a health camp in his native village where he was born in Y Kothapalli.

A Coffee table book on his life sketch will be published in 3 languages during the centenary year.
   
We are planning to institute an award for the “Gold Medalist” student in a medical college - Chennai.  Of course on the Film side we are going to institute Nagi Reddi Film Award both in Telugu & Tamil commencing from the year 2011 for the Best Wholesome Entertainment Film.

I thank all the dignitaries on the dias who have been kind enough to grace the occasion especially Srimathi Sowcar Janaki for accepting our invitation so enthusiastically and as we all know she was a debutant in Vijaya Productions first movie “shawukar” in the year 1950.  

We pray that Our founder Shri B. Nagi Reddi will always remain as our guiding star for our future endeavors and help our Vijaya Group of Hospitals to become an internationally accredited hospital.
