The Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA), New York, Jaipur Foot USA, and BRUHUD NY Seniors have extended their heartiest congratulations to world-renowned interventional cardiologist Dr. Samin K. Sharma on his appointment as Chief of Clinical Cardiology at Mount Sinai, New York.
RANA President Prem Bhandari said that Dr. Sharma’s appointment is a matter of immense pride not only for Rajasthan, but also for India and the United States.
“Dr. Samin Sharma is not only the pride of Rajasthan, but also the pride of India and the United States. His extraordinary contributions to interventional cardiology, patient care, innovation, and medical leadership over more than three decades have earned him worldwide respect. This appointment is a fitting recognition of his exceptional service and dedication,” Bhandari said.
Dr. Sharma is a Patron Member of the Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA), New York, an elite global organization of Rajasthanis across the world. RANA has held four International Rajasthani Conventions in New York, which were attended twice by former Rajasthan Chief Minister Shri Ashok Gehlot along with his Cabinet members, and once by former Chief Minister Smt. Vasundhara Raje along with her Cabinet members. Bhandari said that the 5th International Rajasthani Convention will be held in New York next year.
Recalling Dr. Sharma’s longstanding association with RANA, Bhandari said that Dr. Sharma has been one of the organization’s strongest supporters since its inception and has also been a great supporter of Jaipur Foot USA and its humanitarian initiatives.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, through Mount Sinai Hospital and in collaboration with Jaipur Foot USA, Dr. Sharma was instrumental in facilitating the shipment of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of modern ventilators to India. In addition, in his personal capacity, he arranged and sent life-saving medicines to India on several occasions during the pandemic, helping save countless lives when medical supplies were critically needed.
Bhandari further recalled that nearly two decades ago, Dr. Sharma established EHCC Hospital in Jaipur, a state-of-the-art cardiac care institution. Today, EHCC is serving not only patients from Rajasthan but also patients from neighboring states and countries, providing world-class cardiac treatment.
On behalf of RANA New York, Jaipur Foot USA, and BRUHUD NY Seniors, Prem Bhandari announced that RANA will host a special luncheon in honor of Dr. Samin K. Sharma on a date convenient to him to celebrate this remarkable achievement.
