Speaking on the occasion, the President said that for nearly a century now, ICMM has been making a meaningful impact in the practice of military medicine across the world. It truly works at the cutting edge of the medical profession. Through its Regional and World Congress, ICMM provides a global platform for sharing and meaningful learning.

The Armed Forces Medical Services of India have been providing stellar service not only to the Armed Forces but have also been in the service of the nation both in peace and war. They are the most valuable first responders in times of natural and man-made calamities and crises and are in a perpetual state of readiness.
