Jayadeva Institute to Inspect Mandya Site for 100‑Bed Cardiac Sub‑Centre
A five‑member expert committee from Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research in Bengaluru will visit Mandya on November 12 to evaluate the feasibility of a 100‑bed sub‑centre of the institute in the town. The committee will inspect the proposed site at Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) and assess the availability of infrastructure and medical amenities required for the facility.
The visit follows a representation by Mandya MLA P. Ravikumar Gowda Ganiga to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, requesting the establishment of a Jayadeva Hospital sub‑centre to provide local cardiac care. The MLA highlighted that many residents travel to Mysuru or Bengaluru for advanced heart treatment, causing financial and emotional hardship.
Chief Minister Shivakumar approved the request and directed officials to take necessary steps. Director Dr. B Dinesh of Sri Jayadeva Institute formed the committee, which includes Chief Administrative Officer S. Nagaraju, Project Engineer Santosh, Nursing Superintendents Umadevi and Shivamma, and Chief Cath Lab Technician Padmaja.
Dr. Dinesh has written to MIMS Director Dr. P Narasimhaswamy requesting cooperation and arrangements for the committee’s visit. After the inspection, the committee will submit observations and recommendations, which will guide further actions toward establishing the sub‑centre.
The proposed sub‑centre aims to reduce Mandya residents’ reliance on distant hospitals for heart care and improve timely treatment for cardiac emergencies, especially for economically weaker and middle‑class families.
