Specialty hospitals to be set up in every BBMP zone
Bangalore- As per the 12th Five Year Plan, a high-tech hospital has been proposed to be established in each zone of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
Under the National Urban Health Mission, a part of the 12th Five Year Plan, modern health care units with a capacity of over 100 beds each with diagnosis, laboratory, counselling, dialysis and other modern facilities will be set up in all the eight zones of BBMP.
People belonging to below poverty line (BPL) families can avail the health service for free of cost while Above Poverty Line (APL) card holders at nominal cost. The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike will issue health smart cards and the cardholders will be treated free of charge. Union Cabinet’s approval is expected on this proposal in January.
The Mission also allows the state government to establish 28 hospitals holding 30 to 100 beds in each of the 28 assembly constituencies of Bangalore. These hospitals will have the facilities equivalent to taluk-level hospitals. Hospitals can be set up in all the 198 wards of the city with diagnosis, laboratory and counseling facilities.
To begin with, the project will be implemented only in Bangalore. Later, other cities of Karnataka will also take up the project.
The state is planning a budget of Rs 150 crore to 200 crore for this project. This fund is estimated to be sufficient at this point since the existing BBMP hospitals will be expanded and modernised.
The government is also looking to include the members of Stree Shakti Groups, corporators and MLAs for better management of the health care units.
