NIMS Hospital in Hyderabad, Telangana is set to undergo a significant expansion with the construction of a new 2,000-bed building. The foundation stone for the building will be laid by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. The expansion comes as part of a plan by the Chief Minister to cater to the increasing population needs, which includes the construction of 1,000-bed TIMS hospitals on all sides of Hyderabad.
The new NIMS building will provide outpatient, inpatient, and emergency services in all three blocks and will be built on eight floors, increasing the total number of beds from 1,500 to 3,500. In addition, the recently laid foundation stone for the super-specialty MCH will provide an additional 200 beds, bringing the total number of beds in NIMS alone to 3,700.
The Finance and Health Minister, Harish Rao, has directed officials to expedite all necessary arrangements for the new building, including departmental approvals and the commencement of the construction process. The Minister also emphasized the need to complete the 200-bed super-specialty MCH being constructed at Gandhi Hospital by the end of the month. The government also wants to accelerate the work of the Government Fertility Center and the State Organ Transplant Center being set up at Gandhi Hospital to improve access to health services for the people.
Furthermore, the Finance and Health Minister issued an order to conduct an online process for the recruitment of 5,204 staff nurse posts in various departments of the Health Department. He emphasized that the recruitment process should be completed transparently and efficiently.
In addition, CM KCR has announced a budget of over 12 thousand crores to make Telangana the number one state in the country in the field of health. The Health Secretary Rizvi, Arogya Sri CEO Vishalakshi, and other senior officials attended the review meeting held by the Minister.
