Deputy Commissioner urges collaboration between government and private healthcare providers to elevate Kalaburagi into a premier healthcare destination.
Deputy Commissioner Fouzia Taranum has urged both government and private healthcare providers to join forces in transforming Kalaburagi into a leading healthcare hub.
Addressing an indoor gathering at United Hospital here on Wednesday, after inaugurating a free mega health check-up camp to mark the 13th anniversary of the hospital, she emphasised the need for enhanced healthcare practices and the adoption of advanced technologies to elevate the region’s medical services.
“Government and private hospitals in Kalaburagi district are already delivering quality healthcare services daily. However, I urge all stakeholders to collaborate further, improve and expand their services to establish Kalaburagi as a premier healthcare destination. United Hospital has also been a valuable partner to the district administration in implementing government welfare and awareness programs. I commend the hospital’s dedication and hope it continues to play a pivotal role in making Kalaburagi a health hub,” Ms. Taranum said in her address.
The event was attended by dignitaries including United Hospital’s Chairman and Managing Director Vikram Siddareddy, Director Veena Siddareddy, Police Commissioner Sharanappa S.D. and Superintendent of Police Adduru Srinivasulu.
Mr. Sharanappa praised United Hospital for its annual mega health camp, describing it as a significant initiative that goes beyond mere tokenism.
“These camps are not superficial or for namesake. They offer comprehensive diagnostic services, including blood tests, CT scans, ECGs, 2D Echo scans, X-rays, ultrasound scans, BMI assessments and more, all free. Even medicine prescribed by doctors during the camp are provided free. This is a commendable effort,” he remarked.
Dr. Siddareddy reflected on the institution’s humble beginnings as a 20-bed facility inaugurated by veteran political leader Mallikarjun Kharge.
