The State government was committed to improving the education and healthcare system, Minister for Medical Education Sharan Prakash Patil has said.
He was addressing doctors and medical students after inaugurating the Doctor’s Day celebrations at the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Hospital in Kalaburagi on Saturday.
Dr. Patil said Kalaburagi district would soon get a mother-and-child hospital. This would help check the maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) in the region. The Trauma Centre built in the city would also start functioning shortly and the Kalaburagi branch of Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research (SJICSR) would be opened by January next year. With all these healthcare facilities in Kalaburagi, Dr. Patil said, the district would become a healthcare hub in the Kalyana Karnataka region.
