Chairman of the Legislative Council, Basavaraj Horatti, who recovered from COVID-19 and was discharged from KIMS (Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences) Hospital in Hubballi, has urged the Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to supply more ventilators and oxygen beds for the hospital, which is a nodal medical facility for northern districts of Karnataka. In a letter to Mr. Yediyurappa, which was released to the media on Tuesday, Mr. Horatti said he had recovered from the infection, but the developments he had seen at KIMS had forced him to write seeking more aid. Mr. Horatti said he had found that the hospital, which had been doing tremendous service despite odds, faced shortage of infrastructure and medical equipment.
