Dr. Gurunath Reddy Continues to Guide Health Centers to Success
HOUSTON (PRWEB) November 10, 2017 -- Around Houston, Dr. Gurunath Reddy is known for his status as a multiple-year winner of several of Houston’s “top doctors” awards. But he has also spearheaded and engaged in founding Continental Hospitals in Hyderabad, India, a hospital which hit its most recent big milestone on October 31st by becoming the first hospital in Hyderabad to implant the world’s smallest pacemaker in an 81-year old bradycardia patient.
Reddy has been collaborating with, and advising the hospital since its inception in 2013. The hospital has achieved many recognitions in a very short span, such as earning the Joint Commission International Accreditation ( JCI ) in two years, and obtaining the prestigious Gold Seal award on the first attempt. It also completed NABH Accreditation ( highest accreditation body in India ) in less than 18 months.
"The complexity of disease in India continually inspires our team to push forward with expediency in order to expand our knowledge and continually improve our medicine," says Dr Reddy.
The hospital further serves as a model for Reddy’s passion for collaborative care. Reddy educates other physicians on this issue quite often, as it is proven to lead to superior patient outcomes. Continental currently is part of a network of 22 hospitals throughout Asia, and hosts a team of experts from 30 distinct specialties.
Dr. Guru N. Reddy saw a gap in health care quality in India and chose to act, following his passion for improving access to safe, affordable health care around the world.
“Physicians should be the ones leading the charge when it comes to providing quality health care,” Reddy says. “I’m committed to this mission in Houston and in India. I’m proud of the doctors at Continental for this latest accomplishment, and look forward to more ‘firsts’ from the hospital, which has strengthened my vision in multiple ways from the day the doors first opened.”
Reddy is also the founder of Digestive and Liver Disease Consultants here in Houston, another award-winning collaborative care facility. And has contributed to several hospitals in Houston area while serving in their boards over the years.
