Telangana Health Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha has inspected the Dr Marri Chennareddy Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences in Sanathnagar and directed officials to complete all pending work on a war footing. The hospital, which began a trial run on May 1, is expected to be inaugurated by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy soon. According to The Hindu, the minister reviewed shortcomings found during the trial run and ordered a special action plan to coordinate outpatient and inpatient services, emergency care, ICUs, diagnostics, and staffing. Officials must recruit doctors and paramedical staff transparently and ensure all support systems like electricity, oxygen lines, and waste management are fully functional before full-scale services begin.
