Warangal: Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao inaugurated the Medical College and Hospital which has been established in the name of “Pratima Relief Institute of Medical Sciences” at Mulugu crossroad near Warangal district centre on Saturday morning.
After participating in the puja, Chief Minister visited the hospital.
Speaking on the occasion, CM KCR said that Telangana was number one in India in many sectors. He said Union ministers are coming to Telangana for politics and criticizing the State Govt. But in Delhi, they are presenting awards to Telangana. He said Telangana’s per capita income was higher than that of Maharashtra with Mumbai as its capital, which is the financial capital of India. Telangana’s GSDP growth and per capita power utilization are higher. It is a proud moment that Telangana is ahead of all in every aspect and providing leadership to the nation today, he said.
“Telangana region was neglected in the past. There were only 5 medical colleges in the government sector for MBBS seats. Today, 12 more colleges are added. The total number of medical Colleges is 17. Although the central government discriminated against Telangana and did not sanction even a single medical college, the Telangana government sanctioned colleges in 33 districts on its own. The mission will be completed in a few days,” the Chief Minister said.
CM KCR said that there were only 2,800 medical seats before the formation of Telangana. But today, there are 6,500 medical seats. After the completion of construction of all medical colleges, Telangana will have 10,000 medical seats.
There is no need to go to Russia, China or Ukraine for medical education. Telangana students can pursue education without any hurdles, he said.
Similarly, the Chief Minister said there were a total of 1,150 PG seats in 2014. Today, the number of PG seats has been increased to 2,500. Telangana is progressing well in the health sector, he claimed.
The Chief Minister said on an experimental basis, the State Government prepared a 100 per cent health profile in Siricilla and Mulugu. Every person’s blood group and health problems have been recorded and computerized. In case of any kind of illness or any accident, the person has the opportunity to know the complete health condition within a minute. If this health profile project is completed in 119 constituencies of the state, the health status of every person will be known the minute they get any health problem. Doctors will provide necessary medical services to the people in a short time and save lives, he said.
CM KCR said Dialysis services were also being made available in the Mulugu forest area. A super speciality hospital will be constructed on 24 floors with 2,000 beds outside Hyderabad for the people of Warangal and surrounding Karimnagar and Khammam districts. People from Warangal need not go to Hyderabad. Instead, people from Hyderabad will come to this Warangal super speciality hospital for treatment. Telangana State Health University is also established in Warangal itself, he said.
