Government plans super specialty hospital in Karwar: Min. Sharan Prakash Patil
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has reviewed the feasibility of establishing a super specialty hospital in Karwar, Uttara Kannada, and steps will be taken to commence the project after obtaining approval from the Finance Department, said Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil in the Assembly on Thursday.
Responding to a question from BJP MLA Dinakarshetty during the Question Hour, the minister stated that the government has already established super specialty hospitals in Mysuru, Kalaburagi, and Belagavi, offering free treatment for the poor. Expanding such facilities across the state is a key government policy, he added.
A meeting with district MLAs will be convened to finalize the proposal for the Karwar super specialty hospital. However, the minister clarified that it would not be feasible to establish a similar facility in Kumta.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
