Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday addressed the Fellows India Conference held at HICC, Hyderabad, under the aegis of the International Cardiology Research and Training Foundation (ICRTF). The Chief Minister attended the event as the chief guest and extended a warm welcome to over 500 young cardiologists from across India and neighbouring South East Asian countries.

Expressing happiness over Hyderabad hosting such a prestigious international conference, the Chief Minister said the city is rapidly emerging as a global hub for life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare innovation. He noted that the presence of eminent and young cardiologists from multiple countries reflects Hyderabad’s growing stature in the global medical ecosystem.

He appreciated the cardiologists for continuously upgrading their knowledge and skills despite achieving professional success, stating that constant learning is the greatest secret of sustained success.
