Dr. Paithankar was recognized for his remarkable entrepreneurial journey in establishing Right Health Group, the UAE’s largest value-based healthcare chain, with over 60 facilities including clinics, pharmacies, diagnostic centers, and a drug store. His vision has transformed accessible and affordable healthcare delivery in the region.
One of the most commendable initiatives led by Dr. Paithankar is the “Save a Life” campaign. Through this program, Right Health’s dedicated team offers free Basic Life Support (BLS) training to corporates, schools, colleges, and shopping malls. This initiative empowers ordinary people with life-saving skills, ensuring that timely first aid is available before professional medical help arrives.
Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Paithankar said:
“If any person collapses, every passing minute reduces the chance of survival. Acting quickly can make the difference between life and death. While national ambulance services may take an average of 23 minutes to arrive, our goal is to train as many people as possible to provide immediate assistance until medical professionals take over.”
The honor bestowed at GEC 2025 underscores Dr. Paithankar’s contribution not only as an entrepreneur but also as a visionary healthcare leader dedicated to saving lives and making healthcare accessible for all.
