Initially I thought RIMC as an interesting book but when I got an opportunity to go through it, I could realize that it is not just a book but it is a library in itself from where you get immense of knowledge and by the passing of days you feel yourself among a bunch of professionals who doesn't care for themselves but always ready to help the needy. RIMC has a pack of fantastic team with tireless efforts and modest approach. Each employee of RIMC is dedicated towards their… duty and their devotion, commitment and sincerity towards work always reflects through their soothing and modest words. Each departments of RIMC makes you feel at home when it matters most. Standard of treatment one can expect here is beyond their imagination as it truly provides an international level of treatment from admission till discharge, a quality only a few can maintain. The captain of this ship is none other than Dr. Rela Mohammed, whose name and fame itself speaks it all. Hats off to the entire team of Rela Institute & Medical Centre.
