Hyderabad: Non-Covid treatment in Gandhi Hospital from today

Secunderabad: A nodal centre for Covid in Telangana, Gandhi Hospital, here, is ready to start non-Covid services from August 3. The hospital had provided treatment during both waves, as it was declared a dedicated hospital.

Non-Covid treatment was stopped when the second wave was at its peak.
