The K. L. E. Society's Hospital and Medical Research Centre is Shri. Prabhakar Kore's brain-child. The monumental 1000 bed K. L. E. Society's Hospital and Medical Research Centre built at a cost of more than 100 Crores is the true embodiment of the K. L. E. Society's glorious achievement. This has taken health care to the door-steps of the poor and needy people. Many agree that our hospital with its ultra modern infrastructure has an edge over other modern hospitals in India. Of Late, the Society has planned to reach new heights and see new horizons as it has entered into collaboration with the Illinois University, Chicago and the Sunderland University, U.K., as part of exchange programme in the field of Medical and Pharmaceutical Education.

A qualitative change in the medical scenario of Northern Karnataka was ushered in 1996 with commissioning of the new 1200 - bedded K.L.E.S. Hospital & Medical Research Centre at Belgaum. Meticulously planned for the 21 "century, the hospital has state - of - the - art facilities catering to all disciplines of medicine. The hospital has in a very short time introduced several new services that were hitherto unheard of in the region, including Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Lithotripsy, Gamma Camera etc.

K.L.E.S. Hospital & Medical Research Centre has exploded the myth that large, multi speciality hospital cannot be set up in small town like Belgaum, thus breaking the monopoly of the metropolitan cities in this respect. The hospital is the most comprehensive medical centre in the entire region with a gamut of facilities incorporating the latest developments in the field of medical technology, bringing Belgaum on par, or even better than most hospitals in the country. In fact, K.L.E.S. Hospital claims that its facilities and services are comparable with the best hospital around the world.
