Social Steps In Line with Futurism
With equal attention for social initiatives, Dr.Devadass adds,“We frequently conduct medical camps focusing on rural and unprivileged group of people in and around KGF and nearby taluks, as management strictly believes - philanthropy must begin at grass-root level”. While some camps are in association with social organizations and government sponsorship, the hospital also operates two Rural Health Centers and one Urban Health Center, within 30 km radius, to provide better health facilities for KGF’s rural population, under the Community Medicine Department.
