The voyage of
telangana in the medical and
health sector, according to IT
minister KT Rama Rao, is a new chapter in the
history of the sector in the nation. With the amenities added to
government hospitals during the past nine years, the State's public
health system has become a national model.
In the former Andhra Pradesh, the public
health system was not taken care of, and
people were afraid to seek medical attention in
government facilities. Earlier, humorous captions such as "Nenu Ranu Biddo Sarkaru Dawakhanaku" (I will not go to the
government hospital for treatment) were written by poets and journalists. "Chalo Podam Padara Sarkaru Dawakhanaku" (let us go to the
government hospital for treatment) was now the new phrase, he claimed.
He said the Rajanna-Sircilla
district was a prime example of this transition and that the establishment of sophisticated equipment at the Vemulawada regional hospital and the
sircilla district office will improve patient care. The State government's numerous measures over the past nine years have contributed to the public's growing confidence in public hospitals. After the creation of a separate State,
chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, he said, has made a lot of steps to develop the medical and
health sector. He added that every choice, from
kcr kits to Nutrition kits and from dialysis clinics to diagnostic centers, was one-of-a-kind and historic.
Rama Rao participated in the
health Day programme here and gave
pregnant ladies
kcr Nutrition kits. Later, the
minister broke ground on a
girl child
home at Mandapalli, in Thangallapalli mandal, and opened an old age
home, a creche and both.
