Kundapur: Sriramulu inaugurates 150-bed maternity ward in Kundapur taluk hospital

Kundapur: The well-equipped new maternity unit building in the name of late Laxmi Soma Bangera with 150 beds constructed at a cost of Rs six crore by G Shankar Family Trust, Ambalpady was inaugurated by the Health and Family Welfare minister G Sriramulu on Saturday, September 28.

Speaking on the occasion the minister said that he will do away in confusion relating to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Ayushman scheme and get recruitment of doctors vacant in government hospitals filled directly by the Health department.

“Those who donate generously for society are rare these days. People like G Shankar are an example while selfishness is filled everywhere,” noted the minister.

“It is the duty of the government to provide suitable facilities when such a well-equipped building is being donated to the government. It will be made as per the request of G Shankar providing all the facilities. G Shankar will be made the president of the Health Trust for hospital’s maintenance and cleanliness and the small administrative cost will be borne by people,” he said.:

“G Shankar has provided fully fledged building which should be declared by the government as the hospital for mother and child making sure that doctors work here with discipline,” said MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty in his presidential address pointing out that G Shankar has contributed in Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Shivamogga in education and health sectors and the donation now in Kundapur is huge.
