Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil said that the trauma centre, built in Kalaburagi during the previous Congress government, would start functioning in three months.
“The previous Congress government had built the centre in Kalaburagi. It had allocated ₹20 crore for the purchase of required equipment. However, the BJP government did not take it forward. Now, we will provide all equipment and infrastructure to the facility and make it functioning within two or three months,” Dr. Patil said.
He was addressing a public function after inaugurating the Indo-American angioplasty workshop, jointly organised by the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research (SJICSR) and the Dr. Govindaraju Subramani Heart Foundation, Illinois, USA, in Kalaburagi on Saturday.
