Pride in the Hills: M.I.O. Thirthahalli Celebrates the 77th Republic Day

The Republic Comes to Malnad

On January 26, 2026, the M.I.O. Thirthahalli team paused from their daily work of healing to mark something larger; the 77th Republic Day of India. In the green heart of the Malnad region, the celebration brought together the local team for a morning of pride, reflection, and shared purpose.

Flag Unfurling: A Moment of Local Pride

Mrs. Sushma A K, Pharmacy Assistant at M.I.O. Thirthahalli, led the flag unfurling ceremony, a moment of quiet significance for a team that serves one of Karnataka's most underserved regions for advanced cancer care.

A Message of Hope from Dr. Suhas V Navada

Dr. Suhas V Navada, Consultant Radiation Oncologist at M.I.O. Thirthahalli, was present to offer a medical perspective on the nation's health goals. His address connected the ideals of the Republic; equity, access, and service with M.I.O.'s ongoing mission to bring world-class oncology care to patients who would otherwise have to travel far from home to receive it. The event concluded with refreshments for the team, closing a morning that reminded everyone present why the work they do matters.

Service Is Its Own Form of Patriotism

For the M.I.O. Thirthahalli team, every day is an act of service to patients, to families, and to the region. Republic Day is simply the one morning a year they stop to acknowledge it together. Happy Republic Day from the M.I.O. team!
