    Interesting, but why Bangaloreans in increasing numbers go to Western countries for their cancer treatment? Singapore receives increasing numbers of Bangloreans too for their highly specialised hospitals. Singapore Airlines are planning at least twice-weekly flights with a stop from Mysore to Singapore, when the Mysore airports expands and is able to receive the A320or 737n jet liners, to facilitate Mysoreans to get treatment in Singapore. Similarly, Emirates airlines, are palnning non-stop UAE-Mysore flights, once the Mysore airport gets expanded so that, Myosreand can go to UAE to get treatment at the world class hospitals there established as branches of the famous hospitals in USA and UK.
