Accordingly, SCCL Chairman and Managing Director N Sridhar introduced a resolution for sanction of Rs.500 crore for setting up the hospital and medical college at the Board of Directors meeting. It was passed unanimously.
Setting up a super specialty hospital and medical college in Ramagundam would benefit SCCL employees, retired employees and the residents of Peddapally, Mancherial, Bhupapalpally and Komram Bheem Asifabad districts.
