HM Raja Narasimha lays stone for hostels at GMC

Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha has laid foundation stone for hostels to the MBBS and senior residents at Gandhi Medical College (GMC) on Tuesday.
Speaking to the media, Raja Narasimha said that the State has allocated Rs 200 crore to solve the problems of junior doctors.  “Medical profession is the noblest one, deeply rooted in humanity. With the cooperation of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Rs 200 crore was allocated within two days to resolve the issues of the junior doctors association (JUDA).”
” Despite claims of setting up an IVF centre at Gandhi Hospital for the past six years, no action was taken. However, we have now established the first IVF centre under government supervision at Gandhi Hospital. This initiative aims to fulfill the aspirations of poor women who dream of becoming mothers.”
An IVF centre will also be set up at the Petla Burj Maternity Hospital within 15 days, he added.
“We are planning to establish IVF centres in Warangal and Nizamabad as well. Before the elections, promises were made in October about establishing eight new medical colleges, but the necessary facilities were not provided. Orders were issued without providing basic infrastructure. However, over the past seven months, we worked hard to establish eight new medical colleges,” he added.
 The number of cases of cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases is increasing. The government has decided to set up at least six cancer centres and approximately 73 trauma centres across the State. The government is focusing on providing healthcare within 15 minutes to those living in rural and tribal areas. The Health Secretary has been directed to establish an IVF centre at Sultan Bazar as well, said the Minister.
 Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha has instructed officials to expand the existing 32 super-specialty departments at Gandhi Hospital and prepare plans for further expansion.
