History

Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubballi (KIMS, Hubballi), formerly known as Karnataka Medical College, Hubballi, was established in August 1957 and is one of Karnataka's oldest government medical colleges. [1] The college was located in a building later known as J. G. Commerce College for the first year. The campus was subsequently shifted to the present location, which is 100 acres (0.40 km2) of land on the Pune – Bangalore National Highway near Vidyanagar, Hubballi. [1]

KIMS, Hubballi serves society by providing tertiary health care services to the needy and developing the 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. It now offers diagnostic and therapeutic services to cancer patients from Karnataka and 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 pediatrics.

For a brief period, due to a lack of political will and poor funding, there was a progressive decline in staff strength, facilities, and services offered. The government of Karnataka organized a Governing Council, and in June 1997, the then Karnataka Medical College was accorded autonomy and became the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubballi. The current objectives are:

for society at large. It now has well-trained staff. [2]

There has been steady progress in the facilities and the health care services available at the institute. The institute is equipped to provide some specialty services like:

The Anti-Retroviral Treatment Center at KIMS, Hubballi, has been recognized and is being developed as the nodal center for North Karnataka and the surrounding region. [3] The Government of Karnataka has provided the institute with a cardiac catheterization lab and has pledged to renew it as a Regional Cardiology Center. [4] The institute has also been accorded the status of Institute of Excellence and recognized as a Training Center for WHO Fellowship. The addition of new blocks, such as the Trauma Care Center and Maternal & Child Health Center [5] is expected to increase the popularity of the hospital in the region. Phototherapy, dermabrasion, and radio frequency have been newly added to the Department of Dermatology. The Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences at Hubbali was selected by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), making the facility the only government-controlled body in Karnataka as a center of clinical trials. The center is among the handful of centers in the country that check the impact of any medicines or vaccines. [6]
