🏆 ET Business Conclave: Recognizing Visionary Healthcare Leadership

The award was presented amidst a gathering of top-tier hospital chains, corporate healthcare leaders, and policymakers, and highlighted Dr. Rao’s commitment to decentralizing neurosurgical excellence from urban metros to regional India.

Dr. Rao returned to India with a vision: to deliver international-quality brain, spine, and vascular care in Tier-2 and Tier-3 regions like Guntur.
