Hyderabad: Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao on Monday said the introduction of KCR Kits scheme has increased confidence among women and other people. The Minister promised to strengthen the hospitals in the State. He appealed that the people should not waste their money by going to private hospitals, whose number came down after KCR Kits programme was launched.
Harish Rao launched a multi-specialty Narsapur Area Hospital at Medchal district along with Health Minister Dr C Laxma Reddy, Deputy Speaker Padma Devender Reddy and others. The hospital with latest equipment and machinery was constructed by Rs 15 crore. “We are spending Rs 600 crore to implement KCR Kits scheme which is successful. The State government was strengthening its hospitals and even Governor E S L Narasimhan, Ministers and VIPs are now preferring government hospitals like NIMS and Gandhi over private for treatment, he said.
“Soon we will launch an ICU unit in Narsapur on the lines of Medak and Siddipet,” he said. The Minister also said a dialysis centre will be started in Medak in 10 days in addition to four set up in combined Medak district. Telangana could address the problems of education, health and others under able leadership of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. He criticised that the previous governments failed to set up an ICU unit, dialysis centre in Telangana after 70 years of independence. Now, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government was focusing on all these issues, he said.
Laxma Reddy said health and education were getting top priority with many welfare and development programmes in the State. The government hospitals are fully equipped with all modern facilities and people are reposing faith to avail improved health services. “Though the previous governments ignored these hospitals, we are now setting up 40 dialysis centres, 20 ICU centres to cater to the emergency health needs of the people. Chief Minister plans to develop a health society and people should keep healthy and avail these facilities, he added.
