First In India: Bangalore To Get State-Run Dementia Care Centre
In what could be considered a unique initiative, Bangalore will get a 100-bed government-run dementia care centre in the Sakalavara NIMHANS campus, which is the first in India. As per reports, apart from the Rural Electrification Corporation and National Stock Exchange, a NIMHANS academician Professor CR Chandrashekhar also contributed Rs 1.09 crore for the facility. Initially starting with 40 beds, the Centre would provide treatment to dementia and other chronic neuro-psychiatric ailments.
