Health Care Industry in Karnataka

In December 2007, Bangalore ranked 2nd among the 593 districts in the country in terms of the existence of health facilities. Chennai tops the list. Bangalore rural district stood at an impressive 67. The National Population Stabilization Fund (NPSF), in collaboration with the National Informatics Center (NIC), has undertaken a unique exercise to create maps which show the existence of health facilities in each district across the country.

In Bangalore, only 26% women have three or more children (rural is at 44%), while the contraceptive prevalence rate is 83%. The under-five mortality rate too is encouraging at 14% but for rural it stands at 71%.

More than 3 ANC [ante-natal care] visits in rural Bangalore is at 87%, and in Bangalore city it is at 58%. Only 10 districts in Karnataka have below-100 ranking, whereas in Kerala, 4 districts rank below 10.

Bangalore is finding a place in the global map for advanced spinal surgery due to the growing number of spinal surgeons in Bangalore. Every month, Hosmat attends to 2-3 patients – mostly from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Maldives, Bangladesh and Africa.

As of October 2007, the state government has chalked out an ambitious plan to acquire around 500 acres of land near the Devanahalli International Airport for a super-speciality Health Park. With an increasing number of super-speciality hospitals, Bangalore has become increasingly popular in the field of health tourism.

However, just like any other govt mega plan, the Health Park has been just on paper.
