My brother Dr. K.B. Subbaiah on his return from England for good, and deciding to marry of course, joined the Mary Calvert Holdsworth Memorial Hospital, popularly known as Mission Hospital, in the year 1970. I guess it was the first Hospital for those early days for Mysore established in the year 1906. The K.R. Hospital was established by the then King HH Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV in the year 1924. No wonder in the matter of health and education, Christian Missionaries are always in the forefront. It was aptly called “Karunalaya — Home of Compassion.” Being a charitable and self-sustaining hospital, service was the motto, not making profit and pay the doctors high salary like in today’s 5-star and even no-star hospitals!
