TWO DNB TRAINEES OF SSSIHMS, PRASANTHIGRAM RECEIVE GOLD MEDALS

Two DNB Trainees of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Prasanthigram, Puttaparthi have secured the National Board of Examinations, old Medals for the year 2020. Dr. Yogi Sundar Rao Chaganti topped in the Cardio Vascular Thoracic Surgery stream, while Dr. Anuj Dumra came first in the Urology stream. The Urology Gold medal is named after Dr. H S Bhatt, considered a doyen of Urology in India, who had set up the Department of Urology at the SSSIHMS, Prasanthigram.
 This is the first time that the hospital has received two gold medals in the same year.
 Speaking on the occasion the Director of the SSSIHMS, Prasanthigram, Dr Gurumurthy said that the two gold medals in the same year were a testament to the high quality training provided by the hospital. “The SSSIHMS, Prasanthigram has the state-of-the-art equipment along with skilled manpower, which makes it the best place for any student trying to leave a mark in the their respective specialties,” Dr. Gurumurthy said. “As the patient care has imbibed principles of health care as affirmed by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the trainees apart from the technical skills also learn the soft skills of treating the patients with love and compassion. This makes Bhagawan Baba’s hospital unique and different from other institutions. Here credit goes to the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, which has continued to provide support to the hospital in every way,” Dr Gurumurthy said.
 Both Dr. Anuj Dumra and Dr Yogi Chaganti conveyed their gratitude first to their parents to have helped them to reach the place they are today. ” In any walk of life the blessings of the parents is of great importance and it is with their efforts and sacrifices that we both are where we are,” they said.
