The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) presented to the United States lawmakers some of the major concerns of the Indian-American community, particularly those affecting the physicians fraternity during the annual Legislative Day on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C., on May 7-8, 2025.

Dr. Satheesh Kathula, President of AAPI said, "Healthcare continues to be the center of the nation's focus, especially with changes in policies on Immigration, Medicare/Medicaid, and Medical Education. AAPI's annual Legislative Day has become a vital part of AAPI's growing influence and has its united voice heard in the corridors of power."

"AAPI has been seeking to collectively shape the best health care for the people of US, with the physician at the helm, caring for the medically underserved as we have done for several decades when physicians of Indian origin came to the US in larger numbers," said Dr. Deepak Kumar, Chair of AAPI Legislative Affairs Committee.
