Mysuru: District in-Charge and PWD Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa felt that the role of private hospitals was very important in the implementation of national health programmes of maintaining public health.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Founder’s Day and the 44th anniversary of Kamakshi Multi-speciality Hospital in Kuvempunagar, here yesterday and said that through the government, 40 per cent of people have been provided health care and the remaining are getting treated at private hospitals. However, the primary health centres are not able to treat even 30 per cent of the patients. Hence, in this direction, the private hospitals should play a major role in the implementation of national health schemes, he urged.
