State strengthening its hospitals sector

The state government is making efforts to strengthen the government hospitals and teaching medical colleges, including Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences( RIMS), Adilabad, by creating good infrastructure and acquiring the requisite equipment to the patients. 

The state government is also recruiting doctors to fill the posts that have been lying vacant for a long time.

Creating best facilities and giving treatment round the clock is likely to attract the economically poorer sections who were being forced to go to private hospitals which were fleecing them.

A senior doctor at RIMS, Adilabad said that creating confidence in the people in the competence of the government hospital system would be induced to check irregularities taking place within their own ambit when unwitting patients stopped promising then and getting duped. People would start demanding better facilities from government hospitals.

Private nursing homes and corporate hospitals have been known to keep ignorant patients and their family members suspended in anxiety and anticipation of a diagnosis by not revealing the exact status of the health problems.

They tend to charge a huge fee for even for fevers, dengue and malaria, which are seasonal diseases that can be treated speedily if detected early.
