Stem cell therapy has a key role to play in modern healthcare in reaching out to the poor, G. Subramanyam, Director, Narayana Medical College and Hospital, Nellore, has said.
Delivering a guest lecture as part of the Cardiology Chair Oration at Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS University), for which he was formerly the Director and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Subramanyam said the pioneering research in stem cell therapy had brought down the cost of advanced medical treatment and made it accessible to the poor.
“The new inventions and research in the field of healthcare reduced the mortality rate,” he observed.

Ravikumar hailed Dr. Subramanyam as a role model for all administrators and young generation medical professionals, while recalling his role in effectively implementing the TTD’s ‘Pranadanam’ scheme in SVIMS super specialty hospital to perform free surgery to the poor patients.
