As I reflect on the journey that has led us to this moment, I am overwhelmed with emotion and a profound sense of responsibility. Daya Memorial and the trust it represents have been integral to my life, shaping my identity and guiding my purpose since its inception.

The seed of Daya Memorial was planted in the soil of my heart, nurtured by the memory of my beloved mother, Daya, whom I lost at a tender age. In her honor, I embarked on a path that would ultimately redefine the course of my life. Despite my aspirations of becoming a neurosurgeon, fate had other plans for me. In 1980, with little experience and a reluctance towards private practice, I found myself establishing Daya Memorial Clinic.

What began as a small endeavor to support myself and ease the burdens of my family blossomed into a journey of a thousand miles, marked by the evolution of Daya Memorial into the esteemed multispecialty unit, Hygiea Hospital. Through the years, the brand of Daya Memorial has become synonymous with compassion, integrity, and unwavering dedication to our community.

Today, I stand before you with immense pride in the legacy we have built together. Daya Memorial Hospital and Trust stand as beacons of hope, committed to providing affordable yet uncompromising quality healthcare to those who need it most. Our mission is not just a statement; it is a solemn pledge to serve with compassion and excellence. As we continue on this journey, let us hold steadfast to the values that have guided us thus far. Let us remain resolute in our commitment to making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Together, we can achieve greatness and leave a legacy that will endure for generations to come.
