Jayadeva Institute to Establish 100-Bed Cardiac Satellite Unit in West Bengaluru

The Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Greater Bengaluru Authority to establish a 100-bed cardiac satellite unit in Govindarajnagara, West Bengaluru. This initiative, announced in the Karnataka State Budget, aims to decentralize cardiac healthcare and serve residents of West Bengaluru and nearby districts. The state government allocated Rs 15 crore for the project, which is expected to reduce patient load at Jayadeva's main hospital. Additional units are planned across Bengaluru.
