The Nizam Institute of Medical Science hospital at Rangapuram in Bibinagar mandal will start functioning soon, though partially, deputy chief minister and health minister Thatikonda Rajaiah has said.
Talking with newsmen here on Sunday after a visit to the hospital, he said the TRS government was keen on providing corporate hospital-like medical care to poor people through Arogyasri scheme which was being reviewed with a view to improving it.
In 2009 the then government had sanctioned `90 cr for construction of NIMS at Rangapuram but even after seven years and an expenditure of `72 cr, it was still incomplete and had not even started out-patient services. “I will review the situation with the NIMS authorities on the 17th of this month and take steps to start OP services at the hospital soon,” he said, adding that the government decided to develop Bibinagar as a medical tourism hub.
He said the government would persuade the Medical Council of India (MCI) to sanction the hitherto-agreed-upon 220 additional MBBS seats for Telangana state.
