K.R. HOSPITAL TO BECOME PEOPLE-FRIENDLY SOON
The giant among the City Hospitals, the Krishna Rajendra Hospital, with
all the good intentions and a dedicated service towards the needy, spanning many decades was equally notorious for being in the news for all the wrong reasons.
Now with many projects and works to be taken up shortly at the hospital, it seems, the leading light of
the poor, needy and underprivileged will surely come out shining and may silence the critics.
To start the face-lift, the K.R. Hospital is shortly opening a branch of Bangalore's Kidwai Cancer
Hospital to help the cancer patients from the city and neighbouring districts who have to travel all the way to Bangalore for treatment.
The K.R. Hospital has constructed a special building for this cancer hospital for which the doctors,
medicines, teaching staff and even the equipments will come from Kidwai Cancer Hospital. Superintendent Dr. Mahi-manjan Singh who disclosed this recently to Star of Mysore said, other special equipments for this cancer hospital are being imported from Canada. The cancer detection equipment 'Cobalt-60' has already been shipped from Canada.
Sensing the tone of seriousness in his projections, one would not be surprised to see other facilities
like heart treatment and even open-heart surgery being taken care of in K.R. Hospital in Mysore itself. It would be a boon for the common patients who cannot afford the expensive treatments at private hospitals.
One would be shocked to his bones to know that the K.R. Hospital is seriously planning many other
facilities which, once completed, will put this Government hospital on par with other with other corporate hospitals of Bangalore.
A light and sound system for the recently constructed park is being planned at a cost of Rs. 2 lakh
along with planting trees inside the premises and this would be discussed, with the Deputy Commissioner shortly.
Even the small bylanes in the premises have been provided with small trees to provide shade for the
patients.
The Superintendent said these developmental works have been planned and taken up with the fees
collected at the hospital which is close to Rs. 6 lakh every month.
The plans for the hospital include better water conservation, more toilets in new operation block,
Security counter, construction of gates for the main entrances, public address system and TV to entertain the patients in burns ward, construction of fountains and parks and resting benches around the blocks.
Even the welcome proposal to have a light music channel in all the wards is being planned.
These elaborate projects, if and when implemented, will surely change the whole outlook of the
Hospital and even the public outlook of the majestic K.R. Hospital.
