State Sanctions Rs 27.93 Crore to Equip Hassan Super-Speciality Hospital

Hassan: Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda, who also serves as the Minister-in-charge of Hassan, announced on Thursday that the State Cabinet has approved Rs 27.93 crore for enhancing infrastructure at the upcoming super-speciality hospital in Hassan.

According to the news reports, the Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences had submitted a proposal seeking funds for setting up a cardiac unit with a cath lab facility, along with the necessary equipment for the departments of neurology, neurosurgery, and cardiothoracic surgery.

Speaking to the Hindu, the minister said, “The Cabinet has approved the proposal for ₹27.93 crore. I thank the Chief Minister and Medical Education Minister for honouring the Hassan people’s request.”

Earlier this year, on September 22, the State government had sanctioned Rs 9 crore to complete the pending works of the super speciality hospital in Hassan. After being assigned charge of Hassan district in August 2025, Minister Byregowda visited the hospital and held a meeting with concerned officers on September 6.

The decision comes after multiple protests by progressive organisations in Hassan, demanding better health facilities in the district, particularly in response to reports of deaths due to heart-related issues. The expanded facilities, particularly the cardiac unit with a cath lab, are expected to significantly strengthen the district’s capacity to provide advanced medical care.

Medical Dialogues had previously reported that in the wake of a disturbing rise in heart attack-related deaths in Karnataka’s Hassan district, thousands of people have been flocking to Jayadeva Hospital in Mysuru and Bengaluru seeking cardiac evaluations. Long queues have been reported outside the outpatient departments since early morning. Hospital authorities have confirmed a significant increase in the number of patients arriving for heart check-ups, driven largely by media reports highlighting 23 heart attack-related deaths in Hassan over just 40 days last month.
