# Owaisi seeks four digital X-ray machines for Osmania Hospital 2026-08-15T01:00:49+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Hyderabad MP and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has urged Telangana Health Minister C Damodar Raja Narasimha to arrange four new digital X-ray machines at Osmania General Hospital. Owaisi said the hospital’s ageing, non-functional equipment was forcing patients to travel to Gandhi Hospital for scans, delaying diagnosis and treatment and increasing costs for patients and attendants. The requirement identified for OGH includes one 800 mA machine, preferably with fluoroscopy, one 500 mA machine and two 200 mA machines. Owaisi said the shortage was especially difficult for elderly people, emergency patients and those dependent on government healthcare. Siasat reports that Narasimha told the Telangana Assembly in March that state government hospitals had 195 X-ray machines. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - siasat.com Tags: Asaduddin Owaisi, Damodar Rajanarsimha, Hyderabad, Osmania General Hospital Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/owaisi-urges-health-minister-for-new-x-ray-machines-at-ogh/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
