Telangana to set up 5 super specialty hospitals in next 2 years

In cancer most importantly we require screening and early detection, that can enable us to win half the battle. Many patients are losing their lives due to lack of awareness and not seeking treatment in the initial stages of cancer, he said.

To overcome this, the Telangana government has set up a dedicated Training institute to train the ASHA workers, ANMs, Staff nurses, PHC doctors, to facilitate screening of every woman at the PHC level, said Harish.

Harish said, we all have immense respect for doctors, but Dr Chinna Babu, the CEO of GCF, despite working in a corporate hospital, devotes one day of the week for serving the poor, he is committing himself to a social responsibility by going to Nizamabad every week, giving consultation to poor patients and sparing his personal time, instead of spending that time with his family or for earning more money.

The Health Minister appealed to all the doctors is to commit themselves to social responsibility like Dr Chinna Babu, because the poor in the society deserve empathy.Today cancer is causing immense distress to people, besides Corona, he added.
