Hassan Super-Specialty Hospital Gets Funding Boost

Shivamogga, India – November 14, 2025 – The Karnataka State Cabinet has approved a ₹27.93 crore allocation to enhance infrastructure at the upcoming super-specialty hospital in Hassan. The decision, announced Thursday, follows a proposal from the Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS) to establish a cardiac unit with a catheterization laboratory (cath lab), along with vital equipment for neurology, neurosurgery, and cardiothoracic surgery departments.

Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda, also Minister-in-charge of Hassan, expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister and Medical Education Minister for supporting the project, fulfilling a long-standing request from the people of Hassan.

This allocation builds upon a previous approval of ₹9 crore in September to finalize pending construction at the hospital. Minister Byregowda, assigned responsibility for Hassan district in August, conducted a site visit and reviewed the project’s progress in early September.

The funding is expected to address a critical need for advanced cardiac care in the region. Public pressure for improved healthcare facilities in Hassan has been growing, fueled by reports of fatalities linked to heart conditions. Progressive organizations had staged protests to highlight the issue. The allocation is a significant step toward addressing these concerns and providing specialized medical services to the community.
