Udupi MLA Khader Allocates ₹28 Crore for Hospital Upgrades

Udupi MLA Mohammed Khader today announced that the state government will allocate ₹28 crore for the upgrade of the district’s public hospitals, a move that comes amid rising demand for quality medical services in the region.

The allocation covers the purchase of state‑of‑the‑art medical equipment, refurbishment of wards, and expansion of critical care units at major hospitals in Udupi, Karkala, and Byre. It also includes plans to upgrade diagnostic labs and improve patient flow systems.

The infusion of funds is expected to improve patient outcomes, reduce waiting times, and enable local doctors to provide advanced treatments without transferring residents to distant metros. Source: Google News – Udupi.
