Dr Manjunath Desai, Mogal Manju, Dedicated Dotor, are many names Goa will remember with her immortal heartbeat.

Chief minister Dr Pramod Sawant on Twitter said, “Saddened to learn about the demise of eminent cardiologist Dr Manjunath Desai of Goa Medical College and Hospital. His medical skills saved the lives of thousands of patients. My deepest condolences to his family.”  

Health minister Vishwajit Rane also took to social media and said, “Deeply saddened and shocked to hear about the demise of Dr Manjunath Desai. It is not only a loss to Goa Medical College and Hospital; it is a personal loss to me. He was an exceptional and wonderful person inside-out who has touched so many human beings and saved many precious lives.” 

Dr Desai, an eminent son of Borim, is survived by his loving wife Poonam, who is a consultant in human resources, and their darling son Dhruv. The citizens of Goa and the medical fraternity paid their tributes sharing experiences and cherished memories with him. 

Here is a selection of commemorative articles by his friends and colleagues from Goa Medical College, by his good friend Sr Adv Saresh Lotlikar and a touching tribute by Editor and Publisher of Viva Goa Kedar Dhume.
