“The TIMS Alwal superspecialty hospital coming up at a cost of nearly Rs. 900 crore will be a boon for the urban poor in the region. The needy families in urban settlements of Malkajgiri, Medchal, Cantonment and Qutbullapur areas usually visit local government PHCs and CHCs that only have a capacity of 20 to 30 beds. On many occasions, such patients are referred to Gandhi Hospital for consultation with a super-specialist doctor and also to undergo high-end diagnostic tests. However, this will not be the case, once the 1000-bedded TIMS Alwal comes-up,” Malla Reddy, said.
Medchal-Malkajgiri district TRS president and MLC, Shambipur Raju, Malkajgiri MLA, Mynampally Hanumantha Rao, Secretary, Health, Medical and Family Welfare, SAM Rizvi and other senior health officials were present.
