Jayadeva committee to inspect proposed 100-bed cardiac centre in Mandya
A Jayadeva Institute committee will inspect a proposed 100-bed centre in Mandya, Karnataka, on November 12.
The team will visit Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences to assess the site, buildings, equipment and other facilities.
The proposal followed a request by Mandya MLA P. Ravikumar Gowda Ganiga to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar.
Many patients currently travel to Mysuru or Bengaluru for advanced heart treatment because Mandya lacks specialised cardiac care.
Long journeys can add financial and emotional strain, especially during medical emergencies.
The proposed centre could bring cardiac treatment closer to people in Mandya district, including those with fewer resources.
After the inspection, the committee will submit its recommendations, and officials will decide on further steps toward establishing the facility.
