We are modernising mortuaries with a cost of Rs. 30 crore and procuring 56 high-end ultrasound machines. While the State government is doing its best to ensure infrastructure is upgraded and available, the quality of health care also depends on care givers. It is our duty to provide good and quality health care facilities to poor in rural and urban parts of Telangana,” Harish Rao said.
