Mangaluru: Wenlock Hospital to be taken over by KMC on 30 yr Lease
Mangaluru: The State Government has received a take over proposal for the Wenlock Hospital on a 30 year lease from the Kasturba Medical College and Hospital. The take over was suggested by the hospital, a fortnight ago.
The hospital has been utilised by the college since the 1950s to assist its students in gaining clinical experience. Besides which the college has also made available to the hospital specialist services and diagnostic facilities.
The take over proposal comes at a time when the government has made a decision to set up a new government medical college in the city and attach Wenlock to it. Towards this purpose, the JJM Medical College, Davangere, had been approached by the government to collaborate with the government hospital in the city to provide clinical experience to students.
A decision to start a new college in the city was taken in 2014 by the Health and Family Welfare Minister U.T. Khader. The minister had also suggested that the KMC which had for long been associated with the Wenlock be given time to shift out of the premises.
