Mysuru
: Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, commonly known as
Jayadeva Hospital
, currently treats nearly 300 inpatients daily. It is renowned for its expert cardiologists and high-quality medical care.
Patients from across the district, and even from other districts, travel to the hospital for treatment.
However, until now, attendants accompanying these patients faced considerable difficulties due to lack of proper accommodation facilities.
Recognising their plight, the hospital initiated the construction of an 80-bed dormitory within its campus to provide basic yet dignified accommodation for attendants.
This facility is being built at an estimated cost of Rs 4.5 crore and is expected to be completed within a year.
Many attendants of patients were forced to spend the night in hospital corridors or open spaces due to the absence of designated lodging.
Dr KS Sadanand, medical superintendent of Jayadeva Hospital, brought this issue to the notice of Dr KS Ravindranath, director of the institute. He immediately took it up further and made this project happen.

The result is a dormitory project that aims to provide affordable and safe accommodation for over 80 attendants.
Dr Sadanand said, "The number of patients coming to the hospital is increasing rapidly. We currently have an inpatient capacity of 250 to 300. While we provide the best quality treatment to patients, there were no facilities for their attendants. Many were staying in hospital corridors," he said. After observing their hardship, we proposed the construction of a dormitory.
The 80-bed facility will be a great relief to them.
We plan to charge a very nominal fee for the facility," he said.
Once completed, the dormitory will ease the burden on patient families, offering them a clean and secure place to stay while their loved ones undergo treatment.
Welcoming the initiative, A Deepu said, "The patients' attendants who used to stay overnight had a tough time at the hospital. With this new facility, they will definitely feel more comfortable. Whenever a hospital plans for inpatients, they should also consider planning for dormitory facilities."
