Telangana’s biggest govt hospital MCR TIMS Sanathnagar opens

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy will inaugurate the MCR TIMS Sanathnagar in Hyderabad on Monday (August 17, 2026), Telangana's biggest tertiary-care government hospital since the state's formation in 2014. The hospital, built on 53.30 acres at a project value of Rs 1,126 crore, has 1,082 beds including 300 ICU beds, 15 major operating theatres, and advanced diagnostic facilities such as cath labs and MRI services. The Hindu reports it has 28 clinical departments, while the Times of India says 37 departments are planned.

The facility is designed as a centre of excellence for cardiac, renal, transplant and trauma sciences, and includes a dedicated medical tourism wing with beds for international patients. The project received administrative sanction on April 21, 2022, with construction starting on February 8, 2023, during the previous BRS regime. The Times of India adds that the hospital is expected to reduce the burden on existing public hospitals such as NIMS, Gandhi and Osmania.

The government has sanctioned 2,360 posts, including 1,633 medical staff. The Health Department has secured all 17 key licences including the fire NOC, environmental clearance, and blood bank approval. Health minister Damodar Raja Narasimha inspected arrangements on Sunday and directed officials to ensure smooth traffic and crowd management for the inauguration.
