MMC Hospital's Dr. M.P. Sasi and Dr. K.R. Radha Win the IMA Best Doctors Award
This Doctors' Day, the Indian
Medical Association named two of Malabar Medical College Hospital &
Research Centre's (MMC) most trusted physicians among the best doctors in
Calicut: Dr. M.P. Sasi, Dean of Post Graduate Affairs and Head of
the Department of General Surgery, and Dr. K.R. Radha, Head of the
Department of Anaesthesia. Both were honoured with the prestigious IMA
Calicut Best Doctors Award, a recognition reserved for physicians who have
shown outstanding clinical skill and years of dedicated patient care.
For patients searching for the
best doctors in Kozhikode, this award offers independent, third-party
confirmation of something MMC Hospital has known for years — that its General
Surgery and Anaesthesia departments are led by two of the region's finest
medical minds.
Dr. M.P. Sasi: One of Calicut's Best Doctors in General Surgery
Few names carry as much weight
in North Malabar's surgical community as Dr. M.P. Sasi. He completed his MBBS
from Calicut Medical College in 1983, an MS in General Surgery in 1988, and a
Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery in 2009 — a career spanning over four
decades.
Before joining MMC Hospital,
Dr. Sasi served in government medical service for years, eventually retiring as
Principal and Professor of Surgery at Government Medical College, Calicut.
Since 2021, he has headed the Department of General Surgery at MMC Hospital and
currently also serves as Dean of Post Graduate Affairs. His award reinforces
his standing as one of the best doctors in Kozhikode for general and laparoscopic
surgery, with a legacy of mentoring postgraduate surgeons who now practise
across Kerala.
Dr. K.R. Radha: Recognised Among the Best Doctors in Anaesthesia Care
Dr. K.R. Radha, Head of the
Department of Anaesthesia at MMC Hospital, has built a department known for its
safety-first approach and round-the-clock perioperative support.
Anaesthesiology rarely gets the spotlight, but it is the quiet backbone of
every successful surgery — and Dr. Radha's leadership has made MMC's operating
theatres, critical care units, and emergency services consistently dependable
for patients and surgeons alike.
Her recognition as one of the
best doctors at this year's IMA Calicut awards reflects not just her clinical
expertise but also her role in training the next generation of
anaesthesiologists at MMC.
What the IMA Calicut Best Doctors Award Means
The IMA Calicut Best Doctors
Award, presented by the Indian Medical Association, honours physicians who
combine clinical excellence with integrity and long-term service to their
patients and communities. For patients and families researching the best
doctors in Calicut for surgery or anaesthesia care, an IMA award is a
meaningful, peer-reviewed benchmark of trust.
A Proud Moment for the MMC Family
Announcing the honour, MMC
Hospital shared:
“This Doctors' Day, the MMC Hospital family proudly
celebrates two of our distinguished leaders — Dr. M.P. Sasi (General Surgery)
and Dr. K.R. Radha (Anaesthesia) — on being honoured with the IMA Calicut Best
Doctors Award by the Indian Medical Association. Your excellence inspires us.
Your dedication defines us.”
This recognition adds to the
reputation of Malabar Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, an
NABH-accredited hospital already known for patient safety and quality of care,
as home to some of the best doctors in Kozhikode and the wider Malabar region.
Congratulations to Dr. M.P.
Sasi and Dr. K.R. Radha — proof that being among the best doctors isn't just
about technical skill, but a lifelong commitment to patients.
