Osmania General Hospital Unsafe: GHMC

The over one century-old heritage building of Osmania General Hospital (OGH) continues to pose fresh challenges to health authorities. Following several incidents of roof-plaster falling and injuring a few persons in the process, recently the town planning wing of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) too had deemed the heritage structure ‘unsafe’.

A notice by Assistant City Planner (ACP), GHMC to the hospital authorities said the heritage structure was unsafe for occupation. There is a risk of life during the rainy season and it is the responsibility of the authorities if any untoward incident occurs, the notice apparently said. A similar notice was also forwarded to engineering wing of the GHMC.
