Facilities in medical colleges and teaching hospitals are being upgraded to strengthen the medical education system.
Hyderabad: Minister for Health, Medical and Family Welfare, Damodar Rajanarsimha, extended New Year greetings to the people of Telangana and announced that the government will intensify efforts in the prevention, control, treatment and palliative care of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
He said specialised services have been taken closer to rural communities through the establishment of NCDC clinics and day care cancer clinics. To save lives in road accidents and other emergencies, emergency medical services are being scaled up, with over 100 critical care blocks and trauma care centres to be operational across the state in 2026. The 108 Ambulance fleet is also being expanded, with the goal of reaching accident sites within 10 minutes to begin medical aid.
Reviewing the achievements of the past year, the minister noted that the long-pending demand for a new building for Osmania General Hospital was met in 2025, along with new infrastructure for several medical colleges and teaching hospitals. Four new multi-super-speciality hospitals will be dedicated to the public, offering corporate-level treatment for critical ailments such as heart and kidney diseases and cancer, free of cost to the poor. He added that facilities in medical colleges and teaching hospitals are being upgraded to strengthen the medical education system.
