The Karnataka government on Wednesday inaugurated the Broadway Super-Speciality Hospital in Shivajinagar, Bengaluru as a COVID facility. This comes four months after an announcement regarding the same was made. The hospital is equipped with cardiovascular and neurological treatment facilities and has been set up with infrastructure worth Rs 10.25 crore. This amount towards the hospital was given by author-philanthropist Sudha Murty of the Infosys Foundation.
