Anantapur MLA Ananta Venkataramana Reddy suggested that the medical services provided in the government hospitals should be taken to the people. He said that the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government was giving a big boost to the medical sector in the State.
The MLA, along with Anantapur MP T. Rangaiah, ZP chairperson Girijamma, and Mayor Mohammed Wasim, laid the foundation stone for a critical care center which has a capacity of 50 beds, here on Monday. It is to be established at an estimated cost of ₹23.75 crore at the government super specialty hospital.
The MLA said: “When the poor fall ill, they first look towards government hospitals. That is why the Central and State governments are strengthening the medical sector.” He said that due to the special initiative of the Chief Minister, the expansion work worth ₹300 crore, at the general hospital was already in progress under the Nadu-Nedu programme.
