The Vivekananda Memorial Hospital in Sargur has received CSR support from HDB Financial Services (HDBFS) for extending advanced healthcare facilities to the marginalised communities in rural areas.

Vivekananda Memorial Hospital is a 100-bed multi-specialty facility, catering to the tribal-rural communities in Sargur, H.D. Kote and nearby areas by providing diagnostic and surgical treatment for communicable and non-communicable diseases at highly subsidised rates to nearly 40,000 patients annually from rural and indigenous tribal communities.

With the CSR support from HDBFS, advanced medical equipment and devices were procured and installed in departments such as opthalmology, gynaecology, dental and oral care. “Some of these include advanced OT tables, dental chairs, autoclave system, portable X-ray, scan biometer, and laparascopic instruments”, said a statement here.

The new healthcare facilities were inaugurated recently. “The newly installed equipment will aid Vivekananda Memorial Hospital in efficiently performing surgeries, and thus cater to many more patients in need of quality and affordable medical care”, the statement added.
