Kasturba Medical College and Hospital opened the walk-in laboratory and sample collection services in Manipal on Friday.
Inaugurating the new service Udupi District Health and Family Welfare Officer H. Nagabhushan Udupa said that the community benefit service launched by the hospital will help many patients and others in general.
Sharat Kumar Rao, Dean, KMC, said that the hospital’s laboratory is accredited with the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India. Now one need not go to the hospital to get tests done.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
