Medically Speaking presents the Sushutra Awards at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The first televised health conclave honors the Antyodaya and Sevadharis.

The awards have been named after the father of surgery, Sushruta, whose text the ‘Sushruta Samhita’ is perhaps the oldest ancient treatise on medicine and surgery in the world.
The logo is inspired by the silhouette of Sushruta, incorporating the ‘yugmashanku yantra’, a surgical instrument described and used in ancient India.
