Dr. Ramesh Babu Peramsetty, a prominent Indian-origin physician with 38 years of experience in emergency medicine, was tragically shot dead in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Dr. Peramsetty, originally from the Tirupati district in Andhra Pradesh, India, was the founder and medical director of the Crimson Care Network, a healthcare provider in the Tuscaloosa area. He was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders.
Dr. Peramsetty, a well-respected figure in the medical community, was instrumental in transforming a neglected area into a thriving medical district. He was also a critical source of guidance for the community during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. His passing has left a deep void in the community and the healthcare sector.
The Crimson Care Network confirmed Dr. Peramsetty’s passing in a Facebook post, expressing their grief and requesting privacy for the family during this difficult time. “As many are aware, we have been informed of Dr. Ramesh Peramsetty’s passing. The Peramsetty family asks for privacy as they grieve his loss. We will continue to honor him as he would want us to. Thank you for your understanding,” the post read.
The clinic will remain operational during this transition period, and the team is prepared to make additional statements in the coming days. Dr. Peramsetty’s legacy will continue to be honored through the continued work of Crimson Care Network.
Dr. Peramsetty’s contributions to healthcare, particularly in Tuscaloosa, have been significant, with a local street named in his honor. He is survived by his family, including his brother, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Peramsetty Ramaiah.
