Tapasvi Jadeya Shantalingeshwar Swami inaugurated the super-speciality treatment facilities, including the state-of-the-art super speciality Neurosurgery and Plastic Surgery wards at the Basaveshwar Teaching and General Hospital run by the Hyderabad Karnataka Education Society (HKES) in Kalaburagi city on Friday.
The swami, who maintains silence and speaks only once on Sankranti Day in a year, in his message lauded the initiative taken by the HKES for introducing super-speciality facilities in the hospital, and urged the people of the region to take advantage of the facilities.
HKES president Basavaraj Bhimalli, in his address, said nearly Rs. 7 crore was spent on civil works, purchase of latest instruments and upgrading the existing equipment. He said the establishment of the super-speciality treatment facilities in the hospital was the realisation of long-pending dream of the people of the region.
Mr. Bhimalli said the financial condition of the HKES was in doldrums when he took charge six months ago, and the situation looks brighter now with the streamlining of expenditure and increase of resources. The improvement of the financial condition helped the society to take up the initiative of establishing the super speciality treatment facility in a few wings.
He said the Basaveshwar Hospital aims at providing corporate treatment facilities to the people of the region at an affordable cost, and announced that soon members of the HKES would be brought under the new initiative of extending free treatment facilities.
