Veteran cardiac surgeon Sudhanshu Bhattacharya was today presented the 43rd 'Dhanvantari Award' for his outstanding contribution towards development of medical science by Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao.
During his speech, Rao called for remedial steps to overcome shortcomings in the health care system and asked officials to take action against companies that are coming out with fallacious advertisements related to "wonder" drugs and medical products.

The Dhanvantari Medical Foundation gives away the award. Senior Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde, who is the patron of the foundation, also attended the event.
IRIM, as an unbiased third party, evaluated and rated each
company on its unique green manufacturing barometer. This rating was achieved through a structured assessment of the manufacturing facility on 15 indicators of IRIM's Green Manufacturing framework which are building blocks behind the calculation of this index. The assessment was customized to each facility, by assigning unique weightage to each of these indicators based on organization's priorities to become more sustainable.
