Plug trial-run gaps at MCR TIMS Sanathnagar, expedite full-scale services: Telangana Health Minister

Telangana Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha has directed officials to expedite preparations for the full-scale rollout of medical services at Dr. Marri Chenna Reddy Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (MCR TIMS) in Sanathnagar, Hyderabad. This comes after a trial run that began on May 1, during which shortcomings were identified.

The Minister reviewed the hospital's preparedness for various departments, including outpatient and inpatient services, emergency care, intensive care units, operation theatres, diagnostics, laboratories, pharmacy, central sterile services, patient registration, and IT systems. He also focused on ensuring the functionality of essential services such as electricity, water supply, medical oxygen lines, biomedical waste management, sanitation, and security.

Human resources were another key area of concern, with the Minister examining the availability of doctors, nurses, paramedical personnel, technicians, and administrative staff. The goal is to ensure that MCR TIMS becomes a super-specialty healthcare institution, providing uninterrupted medical services to patients.
