With delay in release of funds by Telangana, surgeons at PMSSY hospital out of work
Warangal: Surgeons at the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) super-speciality hospital constructed in the Kakatiya Medical College premises have been sitting idle due to non-availability of work, even though the Out-Patient Department (OPD) services had begun around six month ago, reports The Hans India.
The delay in release of funds by the Telangana government is reportedly being cited as the reason for the same. The hospital has not acquired the full-fledged equipment required for surgeries yet.

The Rs 150 crore PMSSY super-speciality hospital have been progressing at a slow pace from the beginning. The centre had given its share of Rs 120 crore to the state, and the latter in turn released only Rs 12 crore for the hospital project.
The operation theatres for cardiology, urology, gastroenterology, neurology, surgical oncology, paediatric, plastic surgery departments are yet to procure some equipment required for surgery.
