Mangaluru : In a deeply saddening development, the highly acclaimed orthopedic specialist Dr. Umananda Mallya (74) breathed his last on July 4 following a period of illness at a private hospital in Mangaluru. The distinguished medical professional is survived by his wife and two sons.
Dr. Mallya had a stellar academic association with the city’s prestigious Kasturba Medical College (KMC), where he successfully completed his MBBS degree along with a Diploma in Orthopedics (D.Ortho) and a Master of Surgery (MS).
