Hyderabad Hospitals Face Infrastructure and Legal Challenges
The Human Rights Forum (HRF) in Hyderabad has raised concerns about the bad conditions in government hospitals, saying there aren't enough doctors and important things like wheelchairs and oxygen are missing.
The government is trying to fix these problems by adding more ventilators, MRI machines, and ambulances.
At the same time, the Telangana High Court is unhappy with the government for not responding to a legal challenge about moving Osmania General Hospital to a new location.
The court warned the government to respond quickly or face a fine.
HRF highlights severe shortages of doctors, infrastructure, and essential services in Hyderabad government hospitals.
Government plans to add 490 ventilators and 9 MRI machines to strengthen medical infrastructure.
Telangana High Court expresses displeasure at the state government's delay in filing a counter-affidavit in a PIL challenging the relocation of Osmania General Hospital.
Government has introduced 213 new ambulances and established 16 new dialysis centers in the past two years.
HRF demands immediate recruitment of medical staff, expansion of bed capacity, and repair of equipment.
