Leading cardiologist K. Srinath Reddy has been awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Science by Scotland's Aberdeen University for his pioneering work in the field of public health.
Currently president of the Public Health Foundation of India and a former head of the Department of Cardiology at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, Dr. Reddy is regarded as a global leader in public health.
Professor Cairns Smith, head of Aberdeen University's public health department, said: “Professor Reddy is a global leader in preventative cardiology and in the field of public health and has made a significant impact in the prevention of non-communicable diseases in developing countries. He has identified emerging global health challenges and forged ways of tackling these through capacity strengthening and key partnerships with international research institutions.''
The award, he said, recognised the growing collaboration between the Public Health Foundation of India and the university.
