Mangalore, May 12: Competition in medical sector will breed efficiency and better services said Dr.M Veerappa Moily, Union Minister for Corporate Affairs.

Speaking after inaugurating Indiana Hospital in the city on Saturday, Dr. Moily said that Mangalore has been a hub for banking, education and health care. With the introduction of Indiana Hospital, another institution had set foot in the city's competitive medical field, Dr. Moily said, adding that greater competition will result in efficiency.

The Union Minister appealed to the Hospital authorities to serve the people from middle and lower middle class with special attention. “The growth of middle class is 20% per annum. It is increasing and it should be the target group for the Hospital. Include those who do not have access to medical care. There is a vast area in health care that needs to be accessed and served”, he said.

Stating that Mangalore possesses a confluence of serving culture, Dr. Moily said that India can excel in health care with a mixture of technology on one hand and compassion on the other.

Dr. Yusuf Kumble, Managing Director, Indiana Hospital, presented a brief overview of the Hospital and its services. Services such as brief radio lounge treatment for cardiac problems, Outpatient Radial Angioplasty, mobile doctor services etc will be provided, he said. Mr. Kumble also briefed about the medical tourism concept wherein patients from distant places would be treated by the Hospital. The concept would even contribute in the progress of the country's economy, he said.

Dr. Ali Kumble, Chairman of the Hospital, welcomed. Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP, Yogish Bhat, MLA, Abhayachandra Jain, MLA, Dr. M Shantaram Shetty, Vice-Chancellor, Nitte University were among other dignitaries present on the occasion.
