During the event, Shukri expressed his gratitude to the management and staff of Unity Hospital, crediting them for their exceptional healthcare services. His visit to Mangaluru was not just to release the book but also to personally present it to the hospital’s leadership including Dr. C.P Habeeb Rahman as a token of appreciation.
