Gundu Rao is prioritising fixing emergency services, addressing staff and medicine shortages, combating corruption in public hospitals, and more.
In some good news for the people of Karnataka and those who are against the public-private partnership (PPP) of district hospitals, the newly-inducted Health Minister of Karnataka Dinesh Gundu Rao has expressed his firm opposition to the PPP model in healthcare.
In an exclusive interview to South First, he said: “I am not in favour of the PPP model for government hospitals. No PHC (primary health centre), district hospital, or government hospital must be given for PPP. Instead, we must be strengthening them. Make them more accountable.”
