Mysore/Mysuru: Patients and their attendants, who come to the nearly a century old Cheluvamba Hospital, adjacent to K.R. Hospital, are greeted by the ugly footwear pile dumped at the passage near the entrance of the hospital.
Cheluvamba Hospital and K.R. Hospital are both Tertiary Referral Centres and Teaching Hospitals attached to the Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMC&RI). Cheluvamba Hospital offers service to the routine obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatric patients, it has specialised units providing neonatal care, paediatric surgery, diarrhoeal diseases treatment and immunisations to mention a few. Hence, poor patients especially from rural side visit this hospital frequently.
