Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday announced that the completion of multispecialty hospitals in Warangal and the state capital will add 10,000 beds to the state public health system.
During the Question Hour in the assembly, Reddy also stated that the health department is developing a website to allow non-resident Telangana doctors to register to volunteer their services to hospitals in the state when they visit home.
According to a PTI report, the CM told the House, "A new Osmania hospital is being constructed in Goshamahal (in Hyderabad) on 30 acres with a cost of Rs 3000 crores. Work on the TIMS ( Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences) hospitals is being accelerated. Additionally, 10,000 beds will be made available for patients. We are correcting the mistakes made in the past ( during the BRS regime)."

Taking on the BRS party, Reddy states that the previous regime left Aarogyasri scheme dues to the extent of Rs 627 crore, and while bearing the burden, the Congress government doubled the insurance coverage from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh.
He said after the Congress came to power in December 2023, Rs 2,046 crore had been disbursed under the CM Relief Fund, while Rs 2,400 crore had been spent on the Aarogyasri Scheme.
"In total, about Rs 4500 crore has been spent by our government for the healthcare of the poor." He highlighted that there were many irregularities in the Chief Minister's Relief Fund cheque distribution earlier, and cases were registered against the perpetrators, reports PTI.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) at Sanathnagar is now expected to be inaugurated on 2 June 2026, following multiple delays that pushed the opening from the originally scheduled date of March 19. The postponement is due to pending construction work, equipment installation, and staffing arrangements.
