We're upgrading services at these two hospitals. Patients from Primary Healthcare Centres, taluk health and community health centres are referred here. We have asked a private firm Civil-Aid to assess and strengthen the stability of the buildings.

Exactly, The stone building, which has 350 of the total 1,050 beds, is six decades old. This needs renovation very urgently. Added to that, around 700 staff members, including 200 doctors, work in the different units.

The hospital, spread over 16 acres, has four big blocks, including the administrative block (built in 1927), the out-patients and emergency block (constructed in 1918) and the ophthalmology block.

Recently, I came to know that around 1350 new patients register for treatment every day at the hospital, which has 17 different departments, and of these, around 90 are in-patients. About 300 old patients come for follow-ups.

You know what...Water has started seeping through the walls and weakening them. Though there has not been any tragedy on the campus, we don't want to take any chances as we get thousands of patients from Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagara, Hassan and Kodagu.

The Mysuru Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI) has sought the assistance of a private firm to check the structural stability of the century-old Krishnarajendra Hospital, popularly known as Dodaspatre (big hospital) and Cheluvamba Hospital. It has set aside Rs 50 lakh for this project.

Actually, that's true. There has been plans to assess the structural stability of the hospitals in Mysore for checking the safety of hospitals. I think many prominent hospitals in the city are included in this.
