Mangaluru: Unity Hospital hosted the release of Mohamed Ali Shukri’s book, ‘You Are The One And Only’, on February 12, 2025. The event was led by the hospital’s chairman, C.P. Habeeb Rahman, who unveiled the book in the presence of director Ashfaque M. Habeeb, neurosurgeon Dr. Sahil Bantwal, Dr. Sagar Bantwal, senior members of Unity Hospital, in-house doctors, and close friends of the author.

Mohamed Ali Shukri, a renowned speaker from the Kingdom of Bahrain, shares a deep personal connection with Unity Hospital. His association dates back to 2013 when his father, Ali Hassan Shukri, sought treatment at the hospital. Under the care of Sahil Bantwal, his father received an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, leading to a full recovery. Moved by the compassion and dedication of the hospital staff, Shukri chronicled this experience in the ninth chapter of his book, titled Miracles in Mangalore.

Shukri, who was the first person from the Middle East to reach the finals of the Toastmasters International World Championship of Public Speaking, has been an influential voice at various global events and workshops. His book, which was first launched at the Delhi International Book Fair, encourages readers to stay true to themselves, appreciate life, and contribute positively to society.

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.

The program featured an engaging narration of Shukri’s journey from Bahrain to Mangaluru and his experiences at Unity Hospital.
