Mysore/Mysuru: Hospitals on the lines of Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, Bengaluru, must be established all over the country to provide treatment at an affordable price to people with heart ailments especially in rural areas, opined Sri Nirmalanandanatha Swamiji, Head of Adichunchanagiri Mutt.
The Seer, who visited Jayadeva Hospital here yesterday, was astonished to see cleanliness and the art of treatment. Later, he told media persons that hitherto, Jayadeva Institute was restricted to Bengaluru. However, now its services have been extended to Mysuru and Gulbarga. Lives of lakhs of people had been saved due to timely treatment in these Hospitals, he said adding that Dr. C.N. Manjunath (Jayadeva Director) deserves appreciation for ensuring a new lease of life for people with heart ailments.
He said it was highly appreciable that humanity was given first priority in this Institute which is following a theme ‘treatment first payment later’. Though the cost of cardiac treatment is high people need not worry as there are Institutes like Jayadeva which are ready to offer treatment at affordable price. This Institute has been a model for other Hospitals regarding maintenance and providing treatment to lakhs of people, the Swamiji noted.
Continuing, the Seer said of late, diabetes was on the rise in the country which was linked to heart diseases. So, this was proving fatal for heart with cardiac problems. If this Institute was in the first place in Asia in treatment of such persons it was due to hard work and dedication of doctors and the medical staff. Such Institutes must spread across the country, he added.
Seer feted

Sadanand, Dr. Harsha Basappa, Dr. Santosh, Dr. Rajith, Dr. Devaraj, Nursing Superintendent Harishkumar, PRO Vani Mohan and Champakamala were present during the Swamiji’s visit to Jayadeva Hospital.
Instead of looking back centuries ago, when the Indian population was hardly touching 100 million, Mr Gowri Sathya should at Mysuru of today, taking this typical scenario as an example.
One set of saffron clad seers, keep opening medical colleges under their names in every city or even in town in Karnataka, another set of saffron clad seers keep opening hospitals in numbers. So doctors and hospitals every where, but not a cure for the poor patient who has forked out lakhs. Frree healthcare which is a reality in the Western world, except in USA, where insurance companies, hospitals and doctors conspire to bankrupt even the best insured patient. Here, private hospitals linked to politicians and doctors churned out by the above seers, conspire to bankrupt the patient. The difference is, the bankrupted patient in the USA gets cured of his/her illness, unlike here. Money is gone, but the illness lingers on!
This moustached cardiologist, the son-in-law of the eternal Deve Gowda, crops up every where, looming large, when the healthcare related event takes place. The SOM considers him a modern Charaka ( of Charaka and Sushurata fame), and nothing less than a Bharata Ratna award would do for his recognition! Hospitlas, polyclinics and Hridayalas in scores, when an inexpensive exercise like walking a few miles a day, and observing low fat diet rich in green vegetables and fruits could be the answer for most illnesses. I can hear Mysoreans grumbling that low fat rice costs Rupees 35 per Kg, and one needs a bundle of Rs 100 bills to visit even a street market selling vegetables and fruits!
While, India is busy exporting its own manufactured Covid-19 variant to the rest of the world, Yedi and his family are reported taking a holiday in Maldives. Nice, if your successor CM could pay for this luxury! Yedi would have gone to Switzerland, had that country not barred Indian visitors! Indeed, Indian visitors are looked as the carriers of their country’s special Covid-19 variant, that swept through their country resulting in massive grave yards so gruesomely shown in Western television. Still, Modi boasts about Indian technological advancements.
Has any one seen Modi in public, whose photographs show him as a Santa Claus look alike, others may say more like aged Osama Bin Laden!
These are snap shot scenarios in Karnataka/India 70+ years after independence.
Jai Hind!!
That is a nice large bowl of choice fruits, in return for blessing this new hospital which is ready to fleece patients. ‘Low cost treatment like in Dave Gowda’s so, n’s hospital’ says the saffron -clad man of God ! That would do nicely, thinks the cardiologist who is seen jointly holding the above large bowl of fruist! Time worth spent for a Padma Vibhushan at least for a start, thinks this cardiologist!
