A regional centre of Kidwai Institute of Oncology, a facility for cancer treatment, is coming up next to Princess Krishnarajammanni Super Speciality Hospital at the PKTB campus on KRS Road in Mysuru. Land for setting up the institute has been identified.
“The Kidwai institute had sought 10 acres but a 5-acre plot has been identified for construction of the proposed facility next to the super speciality hospital. The matter will come up for discussion in the next governing council meeting of the Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI),” said Dr. H.N. Dinesh, Dean and Director, MMCRI.
Dr. Dinesh said the Kidwai institute in Mysuru is going to a regional cancer care centre on the lines of the regional branch of Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research that has come up on the same campus on KRS Road, and has been a major public cardiac care facility for the people of Mysuru and neighbouring districts.
