This choice would hardly be a surprise to the healthcare professionals who have followed his 25 year 3 continent glittering career journey. The recognition is truly global & is spectacular considering the high importance of this category. The previous recipient of this Award was veteran Dr. Ramakanta Panda who is one of India’s leading cardiac surgeons, and the Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Asian Heart Institute. Dr Panda is a globally-reputed cardiac surgeon with impeccable credentials, who operated on Dr. Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India. This successful ‘redo bypass’, the second for Dr. Singh, further cemented Dr. Panda’s reputation as one of India’s leading cardiac surgeons.

Announcing the name of Dr Mukesh Hariawala as the proud recipient of such an honour , Satya Brahma, Chairman of the 5th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Business Leadership Awards 2012 who also spoke to the Boston based Doctor in US said “ Dr Mukesh symbolizes innovations in best practices & is very down –to-earth, someone who has spent nearly two & half decades inhealthcare practice & has catapulted to the limelight after he operated the first Surgery to the present Indian Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh. The great co-incidence is that while the previcious recipient Dr Panda was the latest one to operate, the first operation was done by Dr Mukesh Hariawala”. “Dr Mukesh Hariawala is reputed to be one of the safest heart surgeons in the world, with a 99.5% success rate in bypass surgery” added Satya in a News Release.

An overview & will also receive the Award on 21st Friday, September in a suburban Mumbai Hotel, India.

It may be noted here that Dr Hariawala has done pioneering research work in the field of Cardiac Angiogenesis which is the spontaneous development of new blood vessels in the heart by laser stimulation and subsequent injection of patients own Stem Cells harvested from bone marrow. This unique “Triple Heart Therapy ” would be the future treatment of heart disease which is expected to save millions of lives worldwide. The low cost procedure would be a major expense containment particularly for the under privileged indian patients with diabetes who cannot afford expensive operations. It is a natural bypass to bypass surgery, explains Dr Hariawala. “I want to see a vibrant and aggressive government policy where India’s monetary resources are better utilized towards rural development and raising the standards of living for all Indians, asserted Boston based Dr Hariawala who also recently became one of the first cardiac surgeons in the world to qualify with an Executive Healthcare MBA added Dr Hariawala.

He will also deliver the ” Keynote Lecture ” on cutting edge technology ” Mechanical Artificial Heart ” which he plans to bring to India next year. This Titanium Heart is an alternative to Transplantation which is Lithium ion battery powered. This will bring a big relief to heart patients who are normally bedridden who have no options and do not qualify medically as candidates for procedures like Angioplasty , Stents or Bypass Surgery.” Dr Hariawala is expected to wrap up his keynote with critical analysis of the 100 Billion Dollar Medical Tourism opportunity as projected by accounting giants Deloitte and Company. US president Barack Obama’s Healthcare Reform Bill details will be presented and its impact on India’s strategic planning into this opportunity. ” Socialization of US Healthcare System is India’s next biggest opportunity after the Software industry boom ” says an optimistic Dr Hariawala.

Dr Hariawala’s celebrity patients include Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh , Music maestro R D Burman , BCCi Chairman Raj Singh Dungarpur , Industrialist Ramkrishna Bajaj , Goenka and many more. He has also delivered keynote lectures as Chairman of Cardiac Surgery at the recently concluded World Congress of Cardiology in Dubai and is booked to speak in Beijing, China at the Olympic Arena to commemorate the annual Great Wall Cardiology conference in October ‘ 2012. The medical world often finds itself clueless when it comes to providing treatment to the patients with terminal heart disease who are not candidates for routine angioplasty, stent or bypass surgery. Such patients can benefit only by transplantation which is not a practical solution due to severe shortage of donor hearts. However, here is good news for these patients in India: Titanium VAD (Ventricular Assist Devices), which functions as an “Artificial Heart,” can give them a new life, says acclaimed cardiac surgeon Dr. Mukesh Hariawala.
