Mysore/Mysuru: There is a desperate need to upgrade the century-old Krishnarajendra Hospital (K.R. Hospital) and include more and more facilities to cater to thousands of poor and economically weak patients who come here from Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, Kollegal, Gundlupet and also Kodagu, said former Chamaraja MLA Vasu.
In a letter to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, he said that the Hospital, along with the Cheluvamba Hospital is grossly inadequate to cater to the population needs and every day thousands of patients come here. The OPDs at all Departments are full and people are forced to stand in long queues to avail treatment, he said.
