Felicitation by Chairman Apollo Hospitals Sri Pratap's C Reddy on Founder's Day @ Chennai 8/2/26
I am deeply humbled and honoured by the award bestowed upon me by the Government of India.
I owe this honour to my teachers for their guidance and training; to my patients for their trust, courage, and resilience in the fight against cancer; and to my family for their unwavering support throughout my journey - especially my wife, Dr. Shashikala, who has been my constant strength.
I am profoundly grateful to Apollo Hospitals and Ms. Sangita Reddy for providing me with a peaceful and wonderful platform to do what I intended to do. My special thanks to Ms. Sangita Reddy for her continued trust and encouragement.
I will remain forever indebted to our Chairman, Sri Pratap C. Reddy garu, for his unwavering support and encouragement throughout my career. I fondly recall a statement once made by Chairman Sir: If I had the power to clone, I would clone Vijay Anand into six and rule the oncology world. Such trust and affection mean more to me than words can express.
This honour comes with a deeper sense of responsibility and a renewed commitment to serve humanity with greater dedication.
With heartfelt gratitude, thank you all once again.
Moments of hope, healing, and happiness with our patients and their families.
Hear from our patients about their treatment journey with Dr. Vijay Anand Reddy.
