Hubballi Hospital to Become Taluk Hospital After Upgrade
The old hospital in Hubballi is getting a makeover!
It's going to become a larger hospital, called a taluk hospital, and it will be run by the health department instead of the local government.
The construction of the hospital began a while ago, but it ran into money problems.
The local officials are now discussing transferring the incomplete hospital to the health department.
They plan to make it better and offer more services.
The local council will decide what to do with the hospital at an upcoming meeting.
Old Hubballi maternity and general hospital is set to be transformed into a taluk hospital.
Local MLA Prasad Abbayya requested HDMC officials to discuss the transition.
