Karnataka's Vision: Affordable Organ Transplantation for All

The Karnataka government is taking significant steps to make organ transplantation both affordable and accessible, as announced by Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil. Speaking on Friday, Patil highlighted ongoing efforts to provide advanced medical services at reduced costs.

While inaugurating the 2025 induction program for MBBS and Allied Health Science students at the Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, he reaffirmed the state's commitment to health advancements. These efforts include a new 10-storey facility dedicated to organ transplantation in Bengaluru.
