Karnataka Medical Colleges to Adopt Rural Health Centres for Specialist Care
Karnataka's government has directed all public and private medical colleges to adopt one taluk hospital, one community health centre, and one primary health centre each to enhance specialist healthcare in rural areas. This initiative, part of the Chief Minister's 100-day programme, aims to reduce patient referrals to tertiary hospitals by providing specialist services, training, and support closer to communities. Medical colleges will collaborate with district health officers, deploying specialists on various schedules, while the Health Department ensures infrastructure and emergency support. Progress will be reviewed monthly to improve rural healthcare access and quality.
