Exhorting the Health department to continue its quest for excellence, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said that the Government was committed to continuing its efforts to make the department scale more heights in the coming days.
He said the department had already emerged a role model for others in the country as could be seen from the manner in which medical services were being provided to patients. Doctors, nurses and other medical staff delivered excellent services during the COVID-19 pandemic but the department continued to face criticism from different sections. The department should accordingly improve its public relations and take services rendered by its to people extensively.
The Chief Minister was speaking after laying the foundation stone for expansion of the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences adding 2,000 more beds to the existing 1,500 beds. The Government accorded administrative sanction of ₹1,571 crore for the expansion envisaging construction of state-of-the-art operation theatres as well as emergency and other services. Mr. Rao formally launched the KCR Nutrition Kit programme to mark the occasion by distributing nutrition kits to a few women.
