On Friday I read with much interest and happiness the interview that SOM had published with Dr. H. M. Virupaksha, the about-to-retire Medical Superintendent of the PKTB Hospital in our city, who was once a student there! My happiness came from knowing that this hospital with its own very interesting history of how and why it came into existence and which is celebrating its centenary this year, has seen much development and progress over the recent years. In an era when everything Government-made comes in for much criticism and adverse comments, it is always very heartening to hear of Government institutions that can proudly talk of their good performance, very often with limited resources.
