The RIMS Adilabad fire has renewed concerns over safety and infrastructure in Telangana’s government hospitals. TGGDA has flagged maintenance gaps, staffing shortages and delayed Aarogyasri payments, and sought dedicated funds, safety audits, modern critical-care facilities and faster infrastructure upgrades.
Health officials say counterfeit rabies vaccine concerns do not affect government hospitals in Telangana, as supplies come directly from manufacturers. However, the State faces rising dog bite cases and a serious shortage of Rabies Immunoglobulin injections needed for severe bites.
