Kolkata/IBNS: CK Birla Group-run multi-speciality hospital in Kolkata, the Calcutta Medical Research Institute (CMRI), on Tuesday observed its 54th foundation day with some of its young and adult patients who had undergone complex treatments successfully.

Expressing his appreciation towards all doctors, nurses, paramedics and non-medical staff, Unit Head of CK Birla Hospitals, Sombrata Roy, emphasized CMRI's commitment to advancing clinical excellence through its "futuristic approaches" and state-of-the-art technologies as well as clinical equipment.
