We often see Dr. D Suresh Rao (Director, MIO) in the corridors of Mangalore Institute of Oncology, focused on complex treatments and critical decisions. But behind the life-saving expertise is a person who values the simple joys of life.
Whether it’s a moment of quiet reflection or pursuing a hobby, these pauses are vital. They recharge the compassion and energy needed to lead the fight against cancer every single day.
At MIO, we believe in holistic health—not just for our patients, but for our healers too. A balanced mind leads to the best care.
Here is a rare glimpse of Dr. Rao off-duty, reminding us all to take a moment for ourselves.
