Patna: The Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) in Patna is celebrating a proud moment after senior surgeon Prof Manish Mandal received the Fellowship of the International College of Surgeons (FICS). The honour was presented during an international conference held in Singapore, where surgeons from across the world gathered to recognise excellence in the field.
The FICS fellowship is considered one of the most respected recognitions for surgeons globally. It is awarded only to those who meet very high standards in clinical skills, academic work, research and leadership. The selection process is known to be extremely strict, making the fellowship a rare achievement that reflects years of hard work and dedication.
Prof Mandal has been praised within IGIMS for his tireless work, careful patient care and strong commitment to improving medical services. Colleagues say he is known not only for his expertise but also for his compassionate approach towards patients. His dedication to research and teaching has also helped strengthen the institute’s academic reputation.
For IGIMS, the honour is more than just an individual achievement. The institute says the award has brought pride to the entire IGIMS community and has put the name of the institution on the global map. It believes Prof Mandal’s achievement will motivate young doctors and students at the institute to continue working with the same spirit of excellence.
