Telangana set to witness ‘white coat revolution’, says Harish Rao
Harish Rao stated that telangana leads the nation in both the production of physicians and grains, with a respectable ratio of 22 doctors per lakh people, the most in the country, during the brief debate on the "Health sector" in the assembly on Friday. The minister expressed certainty that telangana will develop into a source of physicians for the entire nation while highlighting the government's commitment to prioritising healthcare and supporting medical education. It is a sign of the State government's commitment to developing indigenous talent, he continued, that telangana youngsters would henceforth be given 'B' category seats in medical institutions.
Harish Rao compared the State's healthcare accomplishments with those of other states, pointing out that while telangana ranks third in the medical and healthcare sector, other states, including those controlled by the bjp and the congress parties and located in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh, lag far behind telangana despite claiming to have strong governance.
Additionally, the telangana government increased the capacity of famous medical facilities like MNJ and NIMS, the latter of which would shortly add an amazing 4,000 beds. In addition, brand-new medical facilities are being built around the state, notably health City in Warangal, which has 2,000 beds. Since the State's founding, the number of beds in government hospitals has increased quickly, from 17,000 to 34,000.
The minister stated that telangana wants to reach 50,000 beds over the next six to 12 months thanks to ongoing growth plans, making high-quality healthcare available to everyone, especially the economically disadvantaged sectors. He also discussed how modern tools and technology, such as robotic surgery, are available at government institutions. harish rao reaffirmed the state's readiness to handle present and upcoming health issues, saying telangana has the capacity to successfully tackle not just the COVID-19 pandemic but also other associated diseases.
