Coming home to heal: Rise of returning doctors from US & UK reshaping Hyderabad's healthcare
HYDERABAD: In a quiet but profound trend, a growing number of Indian doctors who once pursued careers in the United States and the United Kingdom are now making their way back home-bringing with them decades of global experience and a renewed commitment to serve their country. Hyderabad, with its booming healthcare infrastructure and growing demand for specialised care, has emerged as a hub for these returnees, many of whom are not only joining leading hospitals but are also setting up their own healthcare institutions.

Some doctors are drawn back by the desire to care for aging parents. Others return driven by a vision to contribute to India's rapidly evolving medical landscape. For many, it's a blend of both. The city is now home to the Returning Doctors Association, an informal network of over 150 physicians who have resettled here after stints abroad. Dr Kavitha Gone, a senior nephrologist who returned from the UK after 16 years, is one of the key voices in this community. "This isn't a formal organisation. It's more of a support system-a circle where returning doctors share experiences, guidance, and advice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo Medical protocols differ greatly across countries, so this peer-to-peer help has been invaluable," she said. Dr Kavitha spent six years working in a corporate hospital upon her return before launching her own practice. "The transition was challenging but rewarding. Coming back home was about giving back, but also about redefining what quality care can look like in India," she reflected. Several returnees have gone a step further and founded hospitals of their own. Among them is Dr Venkatesh Movva, a pioneer in regenerative medicine and founder of RegenOrthoSport. After nearly a decade in the US, he made a conscious decision to return. "Of course, the US is more lucrative, but for me, it was about impact. In India, we still over-rely on surgery for even minor injuries," he said. Dr Karthik Mikkilineni, a vascular surgeon certified by the American Board of Surgery and now practising at RIVEA Vascular Institute, echoed a similar sentiment. "I came back post-Covid with a clear purpose-to bridge the gaps in clinical protocols. In many cases, surgeries and tests are rushed into without sufficient evaluation," he explained. Interestingly, while physicians have historically returned from both the US and the UK, recent years have seen a stronger trend of repatriation from the US. Dr Venkata Swamy, founder of Roma Hospital and a trauma orthopaedic specialist, has returned from the UK twice. A native of Karimnagar, his mission has remained rooted in community care. "A decade ago, I returned to set up a hospital in my village. I came back again two years ago to start a hospital in the city. This is more than a profession-it's about building healthcare access in the places that shaped me," he said.

Train smarter and heal faster: Expert shares 4 tips for post-workout muscle recovery
During workout, the body goes through microscopic muscle tear. However, with the right care, muscle recovery is possible. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Venkatesh Movva, specialist in regenerative medicine, RegenOrthoSport, Hyderabad said, 'Recovering from a workout is just as important as training itself. Without proper recovery, muscles stay fatigued, increasing the risk of injury and limiting performance gains.' Also read | Back pain while working at your desk job? Know how to protect your spine during long work hours Highlighting the importance of muscle recovery, Dr Venkatesh Movva said, 'While this is a natural process that leads to muscle growth, it requires proper recovery to rebuild stronger. Without adequate rest and support, excessive inflammation can lead to stiffness, mobility issues, and even chronic injuries. Recovery plays a crucial role in preventing overuse injuries, maintaining joint health, and enhancing overall physical performance.' Effective strategies for faster muscle recovery: Post-workout nutrition is key to replenishing energy stores and repairing muscle tissue. Consuming lean proteins (chicken, fish, plant-based sources) alongside complex carbohydrates (quinoa, sweet potatoes, whole grains) accelerates recovery. Hydration is just as important—water and electrolytes prevent dehydration, which can slow down muscle repair and lead to cramps. Light movement helps improve circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles. Engaging in activities like swimming, yoga, or even a short walk reduces stiffness and flushes out metabolic waste. Stretching post-workout also enhances flexibility and reduces muscle tightness.

Growth hormone, essential for tissue regeneration, is released at night, making 7–9 hours of quality sleep crucial for recovery. Pushing through pain can lead to long-term damage. Persistent soreness, joint discomfort, or decreased performance are signs that your body needs more rest. Periodising workouts and incorporating rest days help maintain steady progress while preventing overtraining injuries. Also read | Pain in knees when you walk?
