Doctors at Osmania General Hospital (OGH) have started performing total hip replacement surgeries under Aarogyasri Health Scheme and Ayushman Bharat scheme. People can undergo knee and shoulder replacement surgeries too, under the schemes at the State-run hospital. The surgeries cost ₹2.5 lakh to ₹3.5 lakh at corporate hospitals.
Four patients have undergone the procedures free of cost. They were suffering from severe pain for the past several years and could not afford surgery at private hospitals.
