Karnataka Government Plans IVF Centres at Lady Goschen and Other Hospitals
The Karnataka government plans to establish four to five government-run IVF centres, including one at Lady Goschen Hospital in Mangaluru, to provide affordable treatment for economically weaker sections. The initiative addresses the high cost of IVF in private hospitals and limited private sector participation under the Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka scheme. An estimated Rs 5 crore has been allocated per centre, with expert committees finalizing proposals. The government also aims to improve healthcare services and regulate drug prices, including cancer medications.
