Shivamogga: In addition to establishing a government medical college in every district, the Karnataka government will also set up a superspecialty hospital, cancer centre, cardiology hospital, and trauma care centre in each district, Medical Education Minister Dr Sharanprakash Patil announced on Saturday. Medical Dialogues had previously reported that the Karnataka government is planning to set up 11 new medical colleges under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model in 11 districts of the state, which currently do not have government medical colleges. Speaking to TNIE, “My intention as the medical education minister is clear: I want to establish government medical colleges across the state. When I first served as the medical education minister, I convinced the CM to establish a government medical college in every district. Thanks to the institute, the price has come down to ₹60,000 even in private hospitals.
