Telangana: health department allocates 300 crore for 3 new hospitals in Hyderabad

The selected locations would likely include LB Nagar, Chandrayanagutta and Kukatpally.

Health minister C Laxma Reddy is reported to have visited one of the proposed sites- LB Nagar recently. After inspection of a 5-acre land for the construction, the proposal for the new hospital building came about. One of the hospitals is also likely to be a teaching hospital.

As reported by Express, the idea to construct new hospitals is to cater to the needs of rural public who are taking a lot of pains to come to the hospitals like Gandhi and OGH located in heart of the city.

The proposed LB Nagar hospital on the Vijayawada highway will cater to the  people of Rangareddy and Nalgonda districts.

The Chandrayangutta hospital on Mahbubnagar Road will cater to Mahbubnagar and Rangareddy.

The hospital proposed near Kukatpally will be useful to the people of Medak and Rangareddy districts, the sources said.

All the three hospitals will have emergency, general and ICU services and each hospital will have 500 beds.
