Complimenting the eminent radiologist for his outstanding contribution to several areas of medicine, the Governor said there could be no better model than Dr. Subba Rao for young medical professionals to follow. He had time and again drawn the attention of the medical profession to the fact that medicine was not only a profession but a mode of service to the people.

Mr. Justice M. Ramakrishna, Lok Ayukta of A.P., who presided, recalled how Dr. Subba Rao had renounced a roaring medical practice in the United States of America and returned to A.P. in response to a call given by the late N.T. Rama Rao in 1984.

Responding to the felicitation, Dr. Subba Rao said he left for the USA when his house was burnt during the Telangana agitation. He said he had no future plans other than to continue to work for relieving the sufferings of the helpless.

The former Speaker, Mr. P. Ramachandra Reddy, also spoke. Prof. B. Rama Subbarayudu, Vice-President of the IRIA, A.P. Chapter, welcomed and Dr. K. Prabhakar Reddy, General Secretary proposed a vote of thanks.
