In 1938, Dr. Kotnis answered the call of duty by volunteering to join the Indian Medical Mission to China. This mission was dispatched to provide medical aid during China’s resistance against Japanese aggression. Dr. Kotnis, along with four other Indian doctors, arrived in war-torn China, where they faced dire circumstances and overwhelming challenges.
