Banners
at the entrance of the building and at the gate are the only indications
that a hospital is functioning in the premises.
According to Dr. Vamsadhara, six doctors, three each
from Cardiology and Neurology will be visiting the hospital initially.
Four nurses and half a dozen hospital workers on contract basis besides a
pharmacist were seen. There are two consultation rooms and a room for
pharmacy. The DME said that as the hospital’s services are expanded
specialists from across the state would be required to come to the
hospital to attend on patients.

The building, which
was used for a session of Assembly in 2011, has been lying vacant for
nearly two years. The government aims to develop the super speciality
hospital on the lines of All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New
Delhi. The hospital will cater to eight super specialities – cardiology,
cardiac surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, medical and surgical
oncology, micro hand reconstructive surgery and vascular surgery.
