TTD Plans to Shorten Surgery Wait Times at BIRRD Hospital
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) wants to make it faster for people to get surgeries at the BIRRD hospital in Tirupati.
They're working to fix the hospital's equipment and get more doctors and supplies.
The hospital wants to be really good at helping farmers and people who don't have much money.
Right now, if you need a joint replacement, you might have to wait a whole year.
TTD is looking at ways to get more money from people who want to help, like a special program for kids' heart surgeries.
They also want to make sure the hospital has the best equipment.
TTD aims to reduce surgery wait times at BIRRD hospital in Tirupati.
TTD chairman BR Naidu reviewed BIRRD's administration with Executive Officer J Syamala Rao.
The hospital seeks to regain its past reputation by focusing on quality medical services.
Efforts include enhancing infrastructure, resources, and procuring high-quality equipment.
A donor initiative similar to the 'Aapanna Hrudaya Scheme' may be explored.
