Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli (KIMS, Hubli) is a medical school in Hubli, India is affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore, Karnataka . It is one of the oldest government tertiary healthcare centre and largest multi-speciality Hospital in North Karnataka recognized by Medical Council of India. In June 1997, the then Karnataka Medical College was accorded the Autonomous status and so was born, the present Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli. ==History== Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, (KIMS, Hubli) formerly known as Karnataka Medical College, Hubli was established in August 1957.〔(KIMS website )〕 For the first few years, the college was located in a building which was later known as J.G. Commerce College. The campus subsequently was shifted to the present location comprising of land, on the Pune – Bangalore National Highway near Vidyanagar, Hubli.〔 KIMS Hubli serves the society at large by providing tertiary health care services to the needy and by developing resources of health care providers and researchers. The decade 1980-1990 changed the institute from being a nondescript hospital treating cancer patients to a well-known comprehensive regional center for cancer treatment and research. At that time, it was capable of offering state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services to cancer patients from Karnataka to neighboring states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Maharashtra. The institute was the first medical college in India to start a full-fledged post-graduate course in paediatrics. For a brief period, due to lack of political will and poor funding, there was a progressive decline in staff, facilities, and services offered. The government of Karnataka organized a Governing Council and in June 1997, the then Karnataka Medical College was accorded autonomous status, and became the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli. The current objectives are for providing comprehensive undergraduate and postgraduate, medical and paramedical education and for developing the facilities for research, training, screening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, palliative, and preventive care for the society at large. It now has a sufficiently well trained staff strength.〔(The Times of India: MCI team visits KIMS )〕 There has been steady progress in the facilities and the health care services that are at the institute. The institution is equipped to provide some of the speciality services like Cardiology, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Urology, Plastic surgery and Paediatric surgery. The Anti-Retroviral Treatment Center at KIMS Hubli has been recognized and is being developed as the nodal center for North Karnataka as well as surrounding region.〔(KIMS website: ART Center )〕 The Government of Karnataka has provided a cardiac catheterization lab to the Institute and has pledged to renew it as the Regional Cardiology Center.〔(The Hindu: Chief Minister to inaugurate cath lab facility at KIMS )〕 The institute has also been accorded the status of Institute of Excellence and recognized as a Training Center for the WHO Fellowship. The addition of new blocks, Trauma Care Center and Maternal & Child Health Center,〔(The Hindu: KIMS to get cath lab, trauma centre by March )〕 is expected to increase the popularity of the hospital in the region. Phototherapy, dermabrasion and radiofrequency have been newly added to the Department of Dermatology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
