Mysore/Mysuru: The distinction of Mysuru as a healthcare hub, boasting state-of-the-art government and private hospitals, received a significant boost with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah laying the foundation for a Peripheral Centre of the Kidwai Memorial Cancer Institute at the Princess Krishnajammanni Tuberculosis and Chest Diseases Hospital (PKTB&CD Sanatorium) campus on KRS Road here yesterday.
Kidwai Institute has long been a demand of the people in Mysuru region, with previous initiatives initiated by BJP Governments under B.S. Yediyurappa and Basavaraj Bommai, who allocated Rs. 50 crore for the project. The Congress Government will now contribute additionally to facilitate its completion.
