After submitting two dozen petitions to various governments over the past few years, finally, the Basavaraj Bommai-led government has “in principle” agreed to sanction a super-speciality hospital to Uttara Kannada district.
The district, which has 70% forest area, has been demanding a super-speciality hospital. Now, in case of medical emergencies, people have to rush to Manipal in Udupi district or Mangaluru.
