Speaking on the occasion, he assured that besides the main hospital, all other hospitals of the company were modernised to provide better treatment to employees. Doctors, nurses and other staff of hospitals should work on a par with super specialty hospitals and provide better treatment to all the patients in Singareni hospitals itself instead of referring to other hospitals, he advised.
