Hubli
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi inaugurated the newly built Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Chitaguppi hospital, on Sunday.
Joshi told media persons that the hospital has been upgraded under the Smart City Project. A wider space has been provided in the hospital, after a thorough discussion with officials. Inner Wheel Club has built this unit, and Majethia Foundation has built a physiotherapy unit.
This Hubli Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) owned hospital has the distinction of being the best hospital in North Karnataka, on par with any private hospital. It is a lifesaver for poor patients, he said.
MLAs Prasad Abbayya, Mahesh Tenginakai and HDMC commissioner Ishwar Ullagaddi were present.
Distributing sewing machines to women beneficiaries, Joshi said that India is in 4th place in the garment industry, and it will move up in the coming days.
