The lack of any specialty hospitals in rural Davangere often had people going to Bangalore and Belgaum seeking special treatment. Also the NH4 passing by Davangere was the site of many traffic accidents, necessitating immediate medical care. SSIMS&R was set up with the vision of being a Stage 4 referral hospital, and a Central Regional Hospital that takes care of the medical needs of the geographical area...

While the nurturing of future doctors and medical scientists of the world is a priority at large, SSIMSRC always orients itself towards new in-roads into super-specialty areas that particularly benefit the rural population. Today we seek to bring the whole of central Karnataka under one medical umbrella, bringing to the doorstep of the poor, the latest medical facilities, as available anywhere in the world.

Blood Bank SSIMSRC has made a conscentious effort to bridge the ever widening gap between the demand and the availability of blood and blood components. The blood bank here provides the safe blood, saving lives and effectively reaching out to the rural community in Davangere whenever anyone requires this critical element of life.
