If established, the facility is expected to provide specialised cardiac care
Mandya: A five-member expert committee will inspect Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) on Nov 12 to assess the feasibility of establishing a 100-bed sub-centre of Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research in Mandya.
Authorities said the inspection was a significant step towards meeting the long-pending demand. The initiative follows a request by Mandya MLA P Ravikumar Gowda (Ganiga) to chief minister DK Shivakumar , highlighting the urgent need for advanced cardiac care facilities in the district. State govt subsequently directed authorities to take necessary action. During a recent visit to Mandya, Shivakumar also asked authorities to examine the proposal following the Congress MLA’s request. Mandya, located along the busy Bengaluru-Mysuru NH, caters to patients from several taluks. Without specialised cardiac treatment facilities, patients suffering from heart ailments are often forced to travel to Mysuru or Bengaluru, leading to delays in emergency treatment and financial hardship for families. Following govt’s direction, Dr B Dinesh, director & HoD of cardiology at Jayadeva Institute, wrote to Dr P Narasimhaswamy, director of MIMS, about the formation of a five-member inspection committee. The committee comprises chief administrative officer S Nagaraju, project engineer Santosh, nursing superintendents Umadevi and Shivamma, and chief cath lab technician Padmaja. The team will examine the existing infrastructure, assess space availability and evaluate the facilities required to establish the proposed cardiac centre.
