The patient load on Krishnarajendra Hospital or K.R. Hospital in Mysuru, one of Karnataka’s oldest and busiest public healthcare facilities, has dropped markedly by over 40 percent with several departments shifted to the newly-established super-speciality hospital and the trauma care centre on KRS Road.
Officially, the two hospitals which were built in the last term of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, have now become operational for the purpose for which they were developed being fulfilled now with the sanction of manpower and equipment to the facilities.
Though they had been partially functional early this year with the MMCRI management shifting OPD and surgeries for easing load on K.R. Hospital, the two hospitals had remained non-operational for a long time in the absence of manpower and equipment.
