Mysuru: The swanky new Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research on KRS Road in PKTB Sanatorium premises bereft of any facilities was inaugurated with much fanfare on Mar.10 by Chief Minister Siddharamaiah and it was covered extensively in the media. Thinking that it was fully operational, a patient was brought to the new hospital only to be turned down by the security guard stationed at the gate.
A person who noticed the incident told Star of Mysore that the patient’s family who were anxiously looking to enter the premises were shocked to find the gates locked. One of the relatives of the patient got down from the car and approached the security guard near the security room. He told them that the hospital had still not started functioning and they should take the patient to the Jayadeva Hospital in K.R. Hospital premises.
