Telangana government is speeding up upgrades in government hospitals. Health Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha told the Assembly that 485 new ventilators worth ₹58 crore will be installed before the end of February. The government has assessed equipment needs for tertiary hospitals based on National Medical Council norms, and procurement is underway. Eight new MRI machines costing ₹192 crore will be added in six hospitals across the state by the financial year-end, besides the already equipped Osmania and Gandhi hospitals. Additionally, eight CT machines worth ₹60 crore will also be installed by then. For cancer care, an extra LINAC machine costing ₹32 crore and Brachytherapy machines worth ₹8 crore are being procured for NIMS. Previously, ₹18 crore worth of equipment was installed in the neurosurgery department in 2025, alongside 15 ventilators now being procured. The state has 38,000 government hospital beds. The government prioritizes equipping these facilities and has identified 15 key equipment types based on hospital demand. Ambulance services have expanded, cutting emergency response time from 16 to 11 minutes in two years. Efforts are ongoing to bring this time below 10 minutes. A referral system aims to treat 90% of cases at district-level hospitals. Also, 73 new dialysis centers have been sanctioned in addition to 105 existing ones to ensure no patient travels more than 25 km for dialysis.
