Speaking on the occasion Dr KRK Muthy said, “It is a great honour to present the Vaidya Rathana Award to Dr Geetha Reddy, she is in the doctor’s profession for over 30 years and equally active in politics and had extended yeomen service to the people and to the society in the medical and political field.

She got various awards from state and central government and she is a president of the Telangana Women Cricket Association.” She is a role model for the younger generation for inspiration to excel in their respective fields and careers, he added.

Reddy was excited for getting this award on Doctors Day and said, “It is a sweet remembrance in my life. Doctor’s service is a noble profession and the doctors are treated as being next to God and thought as the saviours of the lives of many.”

She further said that, there is a transformation from the medical profession into a commercial one, which is damaging the image and good will of the noble profession. “Due to certain section of doctors and few corporate hospitals a fear of visiting the hospital starts building in the minds of people.
