The Government Medical College Hospital, Kottayam, will be ready to conduct its first liver transplant surgery within two months, Health Minister Veena George has said.
Inaugurating a slew of development projects worth over ₹8.89-crore at the hospital here on Tuesday, the Minister said the launch of the liver transplant surgery would pave the way for a major change in public health sector. Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and systems for the treatment of the common man, the hospital had witnessed the commissioning of several projects over the past five years, she said.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
