The patients in Kodagu district do not get emergency treatment with a lack of sophisticated hospital to treat the sick.

Patients are usually rushed to hospitals in distant places like Mangaluru, Mysuru, Bengaluru, Sullia and some in critical condition even die en route. Fed up by the situation, people started a hashtag campaign demanding a super-speciality hospital. 

Kodagu district is a tourist destination with several hilly ranges and curved roads in the district. A large number of tourists visit the district. Without proper trauma care centre, the majority of the accident victims die.
