#honorary #frcs #glasgow 11 September 2025 Historic first: Youngest South Asian surgeon conferred Honorary FRCS by RCPSG, Glasgow Highest Honour bestowed by one of the oldest and the only Multidisciplinary College in the British Isles Dr. Raghu Ram Pillarisetti, Founding Director of the KIMS-USHALAKSHMI Centre for Breast Diseases, Hyderabad, has achieved the rare distinction of becoming the youngest surgeon from South Asia to be conferred the Honorary FRCS (Glasgow) by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG). Having earned FRCS (Glasgow) by examination in 1997, Dr. Pillarisetti now holds the unique honour of being both an FRCS (by examination) and an Honorary Fellow of the same College. This highest honour, from the 425-year-old College, was formally bestowed upon Dr. Raghu Ram by Prof. Hany Etiba, President of RCPSG, at a glittering ceremony held in the historic College Hall in Glasgow on 10 September 2025, which was followed by a formal sit down Dinner to celebrate the conferment of Honorary Fellowship. Addressing the Guests, Professor Hany Etiba, President, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow said “I am delighted to confer upon Dr Pillarisetti the Honorary Fellowship, which is the most prestigious and highest honour bestowed by the College For over two decades, he has dedicated himself to his community, bringing hope to millions of people in the fight against breast cancer. By fostering close links with surgeons in the UK, India and worldwide, he has been integral to our mission of advancing health and professional standards in surgery. We are immensely proud to welcome him into our College community and look forward to strengthening the bond between the UK and India.” The Citation read out by Prof. Abhay Rane, Registrar and Trustee of the RCPSG paid glowing tribute to Dr. Raghu Ram’s transformative contributions to breast cancer care in India over nearly two decades, his pioneering role in convening 12 overseas FRCS/MRCS preparatory courses in Hyderabad that enabled over 2,000 trainees from across South Asia to succeed in the prestigious examinations, and his strategic guidance to the College’s academic initiatives in India. Expressing his gratitude, Dr. Raghu Ram Pillarisetti said: “I am deeply grateful to the President of RCPSG for conferring this highest honour, and I dedicate this singular recognition to my family, my patients, and my motherland.” Founded in 1599, RCPSG is over 425 years old and is the only multidisciplinary Royal College in the British Isles that represents a diverse community of over 15, 000 Surgeons, Dentists & Professionals working in podiatry and travel medicine from across 97 Countries around the world. The President later bestowed prestigious “MRCS” & “FRCS”, which are globally recognised to doctors who have passed the Intercollegiate Examination upon completion of their training requirements. Some of the prominent Surgeons who were closely associated with this historic College include Prof. Peter Low – the founder of RCPSG, who published the first Surgical textbook in English (1597), Sir William Macewan - “father of Neuro Surgery’ credited to have removed the first brain tumour, Prof. Joseph lister – father of antiseptic surgery, Prof. Sir, Greame Teasdale, former president of the College & Prof. Bryan Bennet - both of whom founded the Glasgow Coma Scale, which is widely used tool worldwide to assess the level of consciousness and indeed Prof. Jamini Sen – an Indian Surgeon and the first female Fellow of the College (1912).

"Gyan Pravah"(Stream of Knowledge*) is a podcast series championed by FOGSI (Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India), which has been providing enriching content to FOGSI members, Medical fraternity and the Community at large. The podcast features a variety of topics relating to women's health, with a dedicated episode each month. Dr P. Raghu Ram was invited to participate in this month's episode "Changing the Face of Breast Cancer Care in India" For many women presenting with Breast Health issues, the Gynecologist is the first port of call. And therefore, during the course of the interview, Dr Raghu Ram emphasised the need for Association of Breast Surgeons of India (ABSI) to work closely with FOGSI to empower Gynecologists across Bharat about various aspects of breast disease - "what to do" and more importantly, "what not to do" and "when to refer" - all of which goes a long way at ensuring women get best possible breast health care.
