Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, Mar 31: “The state government has given its nod for constructing a new building to house Lady Goschen Hospital in the city with the help of a donor. An Andhra Pradesh businessman, Raghavan Naidu, has come forward to construct a new building measuring 1.50 lac square feet at a cost of Rs 18 crore and hand it over to the government. The new building will come up adjacent to the present building,” said deputy speaker of the state assembly, N Yogish Bhat, in a release.
He noted that efforts had been going on since the last many years to upgrade Lady Gosechen Hospital and improve the facilities there apart from renovating the building. These efforts have now borne fruits, he said. He also added that M/s K S Keerti Foundation will begin works on the new building by the end of this April, and the government has requested the donor to complete the building within a year. “The hospital building will be built by Raghavan Naidu in memory of his only daughter, the late K R Keerti, and the government has agreed to name the new building after her,” he explained.
Bhat said he has expressed gratefulness on behalf of the people of the region to Naidu for donating Rs 18 crore in the form of hospital building and modern amenities.
