Telangana to Add 10,000 Hospital Beds, Says Chief Minister Revanth
The leader of Telangana, a state in India, made a big promise about hospitals.
He said the state will add 10,000 new beds so more sick people can get care.
He opened a new hospital called Dr MCR TIMS in Hyderabad.
He said the old government only started building hospitals but never finished them.
His government is now finishing those hospitals.
Four big hospitals will be ready by December 2027.
The hospitals will be run like private corporate hospitals.
Doctors who work extra hours and do more surgeries will get rewards.
The government has already spent a lot of money to help poor patients.
The goal is to give poor people good treatment without high costs.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inaugurated the Dr MCR Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) at Sanathnagar in Hyderabad.
The government announced about 10,000 new beds across four hospitals, with completion targeted by December 9, 2027.
Reddy accused the previous government of only laying foundation stones for hospitals without completing them.
The government has spent ₹5,226 crore on healthcare support for the poor through Aarogyasri and the Chief Minister's Relief Fund.
Each hospital will have a separate director and be run on the lines of corporate hospitals, with incentives planned for doctors.
