Mangalore: Medical Education Minister Dr V S Acharya has announced that an advanced centre for diabetic care and research has been proposed by government, to be established with an estimated cost of Rs. 6 crore in Bangalore.

One of the diabetic center’s divisional headquarters would be opened in Mangalore as well. In this regard the cabinet decision was taken on September 4. The announcement was made by Acharya after launching Super Speciality Centres at the Yenepoya.

“Cardiovascular disorders, cancer, diabetics, HIV and other related diseases and accidents are the major challenges, so, the doctors and Institutions should prepare to face these challenges ahead,” he said.
