“I will not relax, I will not allow anyone to relax”, said Health Minister Harish Rao at a congregation of doctors, nurses, ANMs and ASHAs at Gandhi Hospital on Thursday.
He said this after reading out the State’s rank in various health parameters. Telangana occupies the number two position in Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) screening among 28 States, and its Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) has dropped from 92 to 56.
“We are doing a wonderful job in many aspects. But of course, we won’t relax. I will not relax, and I will not allow any of you to relax. I keep saying this that we have to be in the number one position, and so we have to work more. Health parameters have to improve further. And in that, we have the Chief Minister’s support. We also have to better the trust levels of people on government hospitals,” he said while presenting awards to HCWs.
