The Karnataka government has recognized the multi-specialty Vikram Hospital and Heart Centre to provide treatment to state government employees.

Vikram Hospital and Heart Centre said all the departments of the hospital had been identified by the government and had issued a gazette notification on September 3.

Also, the government had brought the hospital under a network of multi-specialty hospitals in the State to offer quality care to members enrolled under Yashaswini scheme. The twin recognition would help patients get quality care, hospital authorities noted.
Yashaswini members who want to avail facilities are requested to produce photo ID, membership card and recommendation for treatment at the hospital.

Hospital’s MD Dr. S B Vikram said the hospital had treated patients in and around Mysore for the last one year and they had performed around 300 cardiac surgeries and angioplasties with less then 1 percent mortality.
