An additional Rs 5.7 crore has been sanctioned on behalf of MRPL-ONGC for the purchase of machinery and equipment.

Due to the lack of machinery and equipment, it is not being possible to give good service at the NICU here. Dr Kiran Baliga had sent a whatsapp message to MLA Vedavyas Kamath stating that the close to 6,000 infants take birth at the hospital annually and action needs to be taken soon to provide basic facilities here. In response the MLA sent him a message asked the doctor to personally speak with him and provide him the details. Accordingly, the doctor explained the situation to the MLA.
