Hyderabad, March 28 (Maxim News): Minister for Medical, Health and Family Welfare and Finance has laid the foundation stone for the construction of a state-of-the-art 200 bedded Mother and Child Health Centre at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS). This is part of the programme of developing 600 specialty beds in and around Hyderabad with a cost of nearly Rs. 490 crores.
Speaking on this occasion, today, Harish Rao said “We want to make Telangana the number one State to have a minimum maternal mortality rate in the country. At present, we are in third position, and in the coming years, I am sure the developmental activities being taken up now will transform Telangana into the best in India, Harish Rao said.
A majority of maternal deaths in Telangana are happening even before they reach a super-specialty hospital. Addressing this gap, maternal health care services are being made part of multi-specialty teaching hospitals like Gandhi Hospital and NIMS.
In the coming year or so, three Mother and Child Health care facilities with an overall bed strength of 600 beds will come up at Gandhi Hospital in Secunderabad, NIMS, and one stand-alone facility at Alwal.
The Minister has also inaugurated a 100-bed free dialysis facility for chronic kidney patients at NIMS. Earlier at NIMS, there were 45 dialysis beds and now the capacity has been increased to 100 beds, which will provide dialysis care to at least 1500 kidney patients on a daily basis. (Maxim News)
