Upgrade of Mysuru hospitals hinges on share in Budget allocation

How much funding will the hospitals get in the Chief Minister’s home district from the allocation done in the Budget presented recently for operationalising the super speciality hospital on PKTB campus on KRS Road here which is partially functioning?

If the hospital becomes ready for the purpose for which it was established during the last term of Mr. Siddaramaiah, the services extended from the hi-tech facility – there are plans to give a corporate hospital touch to the unit - will largely benefit poor patients in the region, who cannot afford super speciality care in private hospitals.

In the Budget for the year 2023-24 presented by Mr. Siddaramaiah, a total of ₹155 crore has been allocated to operationalise super speciality hospitals and burn care centres in Mysuru and also in Kalaburagi and Belagavi districts. A sum of ₹30 crore has been allocated to operationalise the trauma care centres in Mysuru and Kalaburagi.
