Message from DR.VIDYADHAR KINHAL,

The above achievements are not be considered as only mine as the whole team should be given the credit. Especially for the improvements in the department of General Surgery & Hospital Improvements, I will be failing in my duty if I don’t recognize the co-operation of beloved Director Dr.B.Devanand, whose zeal to develop the institution is incomparable.
