While felicitating Dr Nori, Chairman Sindhu Hospitals Dr. Parthasaradhi Reddy remarked that Dr. Nori Dattatreyudu’s Padma Bhushan was a moment of immense pride for the medical community and for India. "My association with Dr Nori goes back 30 years, to when I decided to establish Hetero in the US. We are privileged to have him as Chief Advisor to the Sindhu Hospitals.” he recalled.

Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Nori said that when he looked at nurses, physicians and support teams, he saw a "safety net" instead of  hospital employees. "These are the people who stand between illness and recovery, between anxiety and relief.” he mentioned.

He further added that hospitals must remember that patients come to them at the most vulnerable moments of their lives. “When patients come to hospitals, they place their bodies, secrets and their trust in our hands. Carrying that trust means moving beyond being good to becoming exceptional — through safety, systems, and the science of patient care.” he stressed.
