Davangere: Health and Medical Education Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar on Saturday said that the Government has an objective to build Medical Colleges on the PPP model in nine Districts across Karnataka.

Speaking to the media after visiting the new Medical College building here, he said there was a debate on building a Hospital on the PPP model and the same would be built in nine Districts. ”There is no College at Taluk-level and the matter has been requested and will be considered,” he said adding if there are four acres available in Davangere city, Jayadeva Cardiology Institute could be built.
