CM Revanth opens MCR TIMS Sanathnagar with focus on affordable, quality healthcare
The 1,082-bed facility, built at a cost of ₹1,126 crore, is positioned as a corporate-level public hospital with 37 medical departments; CM says specialists serving additional hours in government hospitals would be recognised and incentivised
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inaugurated the 1,082-bed Marri Channa Reddy Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (MCR TIMS) in Sanathnagar, Hyderabad, on Monday, emphasizing the government's commitment to affordable, quality healthcare. The facility, built at a cost of ₹1,126 crore, is poised to become a Centre of Excellence in cardiac, renal, transplant and trauma sciences.
With 11.68 lakh square feet of built-up area and 1,082 beds across 37 medical departments, MCR TIMS aims to bridge the gap between public and private healthcare institutions. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka highlighted that the hospital, named after former Chief Minister Marri Chenna Reddy, would provide free medical services to lakhs of people in Telangana.
He criticized the previous BRS government, stating that only ₹70 crore was spent on the construction during their tenure, while the current government has released ₹845 crore. The hospital aims to treat every patient with respect, respond promptly to emergencies, and provide a humane approach to patient care.
