Hyderabad, September 23 (YaHind.Com) – In a powerful push for India’s burgeoning medical tourism sector, Dr. Ausaf Sayeed – distinguished former Indian Foreign Service officer, Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Seychelles, and ex-Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India – urged private hospitals to seize the opportunity with top-notch services and ethical practices.
Highlighting the Indian government’s strong emphasis on tourism, especially medical tourism, Dr. Sayeed noted the influx of patients from Asian and African nations flocking to cities like Hyderabad for world-class treatments. “The positive impacts are already visible,” he said, encouraging private players to elevate their game and capitalize on this global trend.
During his inspiring visit to Krishna Western Hospital in Lakdi Ka Pul, Hyderabad, on Monday evening, Dr. Sayeed was briefed by hospital leaders Dr. Syed Shah Ali Hussaini, Dr. G. Mustafa Faisal, and Intesar Alavi. They showcased the multi-specialty facility’s cutting-edge amenities, including 24/7 emergency and ICU services, advanced medical and surgical care, and a team of specialist doctors equipped with the latest technology.
Addressing the hospital staff and doctors in the conference hall, Dr. Sayeed delivered a motivational message: “Stay ahead by updating your skills and integrating new medical technologies. Leverage social media to broadcast your services far and wide – let your excellence reach international shores!”
He stressed the non-negotiable role of integrity in healthcare: “Avoid unnecessary tests, surgeries, or prolonged admissions. With limited medical insurance coverage in India, we must prioritize affordability to ease the burden on patients.”
Responding to this, Dr. Hussaini affirmed the hospital’s commitment: “At Western Hospital, we steer clear of undue financial strain on patients – it’s core to our policy. Our team founded this institution driven by a passion for humanitarian service.”
The event concluded on a high note, with Intesar Alavi, Dr. Shah Ali Hussaini, and Dr. Mustafa Faisal honoring Dr. Ausaf Sayeed with a traditional shawl and bouquet, celebrating his visionary insights.
