We are privileged to have him as Chief Advisor to the Sindhu Hospitals.”

Dr. Nori is internationally recognised for his pioneering work in high-dose-rate brachytherapy, which has significantly transformed the treatment of cancers of the cervix, urinary system, chest, head, and neck.

Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Nori said, “When I look at our nurses, physicians, and support teams, I don’t see hospital employees; instead, I see a safety net. These are the people who stand between illness and recovery, between anxiety and relief.”

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, their 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.”
