Gaps in services at Telangana’s secondary healthcare facilities to be assessed

Telangana Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha has directed officials to conduct a comprehensive assessment of specialist services, staffing levels, and medical equipment in the State's secondary healthcare facilities. The review, which took place during a meeting in Hyderabad on November 9, 2026, focuses on strengthening secondary healthcare facilities across the State to ensure that people can access specialist medical services and diagnostic facilities without having to travel to Hyderabad or hospitals attached to medical colleges for routine health needs.

The assessment will examine the current specialist services available, the departments requiring additional doctors and nursing or paramedical staff, and gaps in medical equipment and diagnostic facilities.
