Taking stock of the dismal lack of healthcare facilities in the region, the KLE Society set up the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC) at Belgaum in 1963.

Nestled within the campus of the esteemed KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research, the illustrious KLES Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital and Medical Research Centre stands as a beacon of excellence in tertiary healthcare across the nation.
