Mangaluru: The long pending demand of new block of the Government Lady Goschen Hospital will materialise by two months.
MP Nalin Kumar Kateel told mediapersons, “Ninety percent of the work of the new block of the Government Lady Goschen has been completed. The new block is being built from the funds of Rs 23.20 Crore under Corporate Social Responsibility Fund by MRPL-ONGC.
