Telangana’s public health sector sees major developments across multiple fronts

The year 2022 was a landmark year for the government health sector, cementing Telangana’s place among the top performing states in the country.

The Telangana public health sector has seen major developments on multiple fronts, resulting in improvements in critical health care indices such as maternal and infant mortality rates, according to the annual health care report 2022, which was released for the first time in Telangana on Sunday.

Telangana is ranked third in the country by NITI Aayog in terms of providing quality health care services.

Telangana has seen massive growth in 2022 across multiple health care indices such as maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rate, medical infrastructure, measures to control unnecessary C-sections, and recruitment of manpower in all health departments, according to the report.

“Due to Chief Minister, K Chandrashekhar Rao’s vision, we have been able to lay a solid foundation of health sector in 2022, which will last for the next one to decade. There have been untoward incidents in government hospitals in Telangana and are not denying them. The only thing that we did is to learn from them and have to ensure that such incidents do not repeat in the future,” State Health Minister, T Harish Rao, while releasing the annual health report on Sunday, said.

Medical education

The Health Minister pointed out the significant steps taken to strengthen medical education, including the recruitment of faculty and the expansion of the pool of MBBS medical seats for deserving students.

For the first time, the Telangana government allocated Rs 11,440 crore for the development of the government health and medical department in 2022.

Eight new Government medical colleges in Sangareddy, Mahabubabad, Mancherial, Jagtial, Wanaparthy, Kothagudem, Nagarkurnool, and Ramagundam will be able to offer 1200 medical seats this academic year in just one day.

The State Government spent Rs. 4080 crore to develop the medical colleges, which added 1200 medical seats from this academic year.
