Dr Devi Prasad Shetty is a senior cardiac surgeon, founder of Narayana Hrudayala in Bangalore.

After completing his graduate degree in Medicine and post-graduate work in General Surgery from Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Dr Shetty trained in cardiac surgery at Guy's Hospital in the United Kingdom.

In 2001, Shetty founded Narayana Hrudayalaya (NH), a multi-specialty hospital in Bommasandra on the outskirts of Bangalore, because he could not find any employers who understood his vision. He believes that the cost of healthcare can be reduced by 50 percent in the next 5–10 years if hospitals adopt the idea of economies of scale.

Apart from cardiac surgery, NH also has cardiology, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, haematology and transplant services, and nephrology among various others. The heart hospital is the largest in the world with 1000 beds performing over 30 major heart surgeries a day. The Health City intends to cater to about 15,000 outpatients every day.

Dr Ashley D'cruz is the Director of the Narayana Hrudayalaya Women and Children's Institute, Bangalore.

He presently is the President of the Indian Association of Paediatric Surgeons and is already proving to be one of its most active presidents. He spearheads the difficult task of securing insurance for children with congenital anomalies.

Dr D'cruz had started the pediatric liver transplant program when he was in St John’s and now has successfully completed thirty Paediatric Liver transplants in Narayana Hrudayalaya. This is probably the biggest liver transplant program in the country for children. He plays a pivotal role in this mode of treatment, long thought to be near impossible in India.

Dr D'cruz was the principal surgeon in the much publicized successful separation of conjoined twins, Peace and Patience and Laxmi the little child with multiple limbs. This received extensive international media coverage and was a success story for medical care in India. As Director of the NHWCI, he has been involved with the national insurance companies, where he is part of the think tank which is setting guidelines for uniform treatment costs in India.

He is also very close to getting the women and children's hospital to be a stand alone hospital. Community and developmental pediatrics will be a major thrust area at the hospital, apart from our delivery of cutting edge in- hospital care.
