By their commitment and dedication FMMC gained a good reputation all around the globe. Majority of the doctors in coastal Karnataka want to serve in our institution once in their life. Some of them who left this institution for various personal reasons and working abroad again desire to join here. It is only because of the doctors who are serving here,"
"Nowadays doctors are criticized, manhandled or dragged to courts. It shows it is not an easy job. So doctors should be more careful over their profession.
