The branches in city are at Gandhi hospital, Osmania hospital and soon plans are to open branches at the other government hospitals in the city.”
Nanda Kumar, coordinator of SBT, said, “TheTrust is serving people for 24 hours and to help women patients in labour room, we have recruited three girls who also help in operation theatre in Gandhi Hospital. We are here to serve the patients and visitors in all the way.”
