Health Minister Veena George has said ₹11 crore has been approved for the development of hospitals in the Kannur district.
She added that the funds had been allocated for infrastructure development at primary health centres and community health centres. The Minister was inaugurating the cath lab at the Kannur District Hospital here on Monday.
The lab was set up as part of providing state-of-the-art treatments at district hospitals. The project was implemented at a cost of ₹10 crore. The construction of a super-speciality block at the hospital is in the final stages. It is part of a master plan with the financial assistance of ₹57 crore from the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB). Once the project becomes a reality, advanced facilities will be available at the hospital, the Minister said.
