Two entries on his record reach well beyond the operating theatre. He was the architect of the Rajiv Gandhi Aarogyasri Scheme, India's first government health insurance scheme for people below the poverty line, launched in Andhra Pradesh in 2007 and since replicated across multiple Indian states. He also established the Bollineni Krishnaiah Charitable Trust, which founded the first nursing school in its region in 2002 to provide free education and medical care to the underprivileged.
To design a state health insurance scheme is a different kind of work from cardiac surgery, and its reach extends to patients who never meet the surgeon.
