Health Minister Alla Kali Krishna Srinivas has said that the government would not allow loss of a single life due to lack of medical infrastructure in the State.
Addressing the media after inspecting the site identified by the district administration for a medical college and hospital at Pulivendula, Mr. Srinivas said a medical college and hospital with all modern facilities had been proposed at an outlay of ₹345 crore.
“The government is committed to extend the best healthcare services to all, especially those living in the backward regions. A super specialty hospital, cancer hospital and an exclusive hospital for mental wellness have been proposed with an outlay of ₹850 crore in Kadapa district. These moves will transform the Rayalaseema region into a medical hub,” Mr. Srinivas said.
He said the government was planing to build a medical college in every Parliamentary constituency and a hospital with all modern facilities in the agency areas.
“Plans are afoot to build super specialty hospitals in eleven of the 25 medical colleges in the State”, he said.
