India born internationally acclaimed NRI Heart Surgeon and Research Scientist from the famed Harvard University, Dr Mukesh Hariawala, has been unanimously selected by the National Healthcare jury to be honored with the prestigious 'India's Most Admired Surgeon 2012 Award'.
The glittering ceremony to be held at Mumbai's Hilton Hotel on 21st September, will have in attendance top dignitaries from government, celluloid personalities, industrialists and eminent public figures, led by His Excellency, Maharashtra Governor Shri K. Sankaranarayanan, who will present the award.
Dr Hariawala will also deliver the much anticipated 'Keynote Lecture' on Cardiac Angiogenesis, which is his pioneering research work on the dynamic cutting edge scientific technology of stimulating growth of new blood vessels on the heart by using 'Low Energy Laser Beams'.
This in combination with 'Single Arterial Graft' and 'Direct Stem Cell Injections' in patients who suffer from old and new heart attacks, is projected to significantly give relief of symptoms and bring down the cost of healthcare.
The advanced protocol of 'Triple Therapy' potentially could someday become a 'Natural Bypass to Bypass Surgery, Angioplasty and Stents' quipped an optimistic Dr Hariawala on the phone from Boston.
Dr Hariawala cautiously reminded that, there will always be patients who are terminally sick in end stage heart disease, who are bed ridden and have a very poor quality of compromised life. In India, this category of patients are soon to be offered a rechargeable lithium ion battery powered 'Titanium Mechanical Artificial Heart Device' which will be showcased as part of the lecture.
Technically, the native heart stays in the chest cavity and this device piggy backs over it to function as a dynamic pump spun by magnets, thus driving blood to the rest of the body. This regulatory approved technology has been clinically tested on thousands of patients and the success rate is high in the western world, Dr Hariawala verified.
Satya Brahma, Chairman of the 5th Annual Awards Committee said, "The moment we announced Dr Hariawala's award selection and displayed the Title of his Keynote Lecture, the event got sold out virtually overnight to multi specialty doctors and the Who's Who of the Healthcare industry. This level of attendee attracting power by 'Keynote Speaker' and vibrancy of interest has not been experienced in any of the previous award events since their inception".
In a career span of 25 years across 3 continents, Dr Mukesh Hariawala has performed open heart surgeries on worldwide celebrities, including being a key member of British surgeon Dr John Wright's surgical team that has operated on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his first bypass surgery in the early 1990's in London.
Dr Hariawala's current traveling cardiac surgeon status and prolific invited speaking engagements will take him to Australia, Egypt, Dubai, Germany and China later this year.
