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.
