Sources in the Department said, "We have proposed three places — Vijayapura, Dharwad and Kanakapura.
Of them, our preference is Kanakapura. However, the centre
is the final authority. We will have to provide 200 acres of litigation-free
land, and basic infrastructure and all the other things will be taken care of
by the Centre."
However, based on the proposals, central government's expert committee will visit the State and inspect the proposed places.
Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil said, "We have suggested three places keeping in mind the availability of land. If the central government needs to set it up in any other place, we are capable of providing the required land."
Health care facilities in Karnataka will get a major boost. Along with offering medical courses, AIIMS will concentrate on research activities and also provide healthcare services with a 750-bed hospital.
There are currently 13 AIIMS in India. The initiative by the Union Health Ministry is expected to offset the shortage of doctors. This will also increase the number of MBBS and PG medical seats in the country.
