Medical Dialogues had previously reported that, after a long wait, Karnataka is set to establish two institutes modelled on the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in Mysore and Kalaburagi. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the development during the state budget session. “People need not travel to Bengaluru’s NIMHANS for neurology-related treatment once the proposed institution near Mysuru becomes operational,” said MMCRI Dean and Director K.R. Dakshayani. She confirmed that the relevant land documents have been officially handed over to the MMCRI for executing the project, reports the Hindu.
In the initial phase, a G+5 building will be constructed on one acre of land, alongside a G+1 de-addiction centre. The campus will also include essential facilities such as a blood bank, laboratory, and rehabilitation centre. Plans for future expansion include residential quarters for doctors and staff to support long-term operations.
The institution will house specialised departments including neurosurgery, neuro-radiology, neuro-anaesthesia, and neuro-psychiatry.
Speaking to the Hindu, Dean mentioned, “The facility’s proximity to Mysuru airport will make it accessible to patients from across the region.”
