“Dr. Krishna Prasad Kudlu has provided 24×7 service to patients during the pandemic in Udupi, and Dakshina Kannada — especially at a time when most eye care centers were shut down across the state and border districts of Kerala. He has served as an example. Being an educationalist, he initiated a Fellowship Program to make young people gain medical and surgical skills before they start their own practice. He has also attended hundreds of National and International Ophthalmology Conferences and has imparted his knowledge to budding Ophthalmologists. His fantabulous accomplishments and his selfless service brought him many awards, accolades and honours — nationally and internationally.”
