Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan has said that work on the proposed Institute of Organ and Tissue Transplantation in Kozhikode will be completed in 30 months.

He was delivering a speech after opening the silver jubilee celebrations of the Kerala Heart Care Society here on Saturday (October 3). Mr. Satheesan said that ₹271 crore was being set aside for the institute coming up on a 20-acre plot in Chevayur. All the services related to organ transplantation would be brought under one roof to bring down the surgery cost to one-third. The facility would have 350 beds and 10 operation theatres. On the same premises, a dermatology hospital too had been proposed. A sum of ₹35 crore would be spent on the hospital, Mr. Satheesan said.
