Mysore: “K.R. Hospital needs urgent treatment,” “K.R. Hospital in coma”... are old headlines of newspapers — as old as the Hospital itself. But despite the media highlighting the pathetic condition of the Hospital, nothing has changed so far when it comes to patient treatment, facilities and infrastructure. Except for a handful of Departments that provide ultra-modern treatment to poor patients, inefficiency lurks from most of the Departments.
At the century-old K.R. Hospital, popularly called ‘Doddaspathre’ by the rural folk, one can find blatant neglect despite the Hospital being a lifeline for many patients from Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagar and Kodagu.
