Hyderabad: As part of the statewide launching of the much-awaited “KCR Kits” to promote institutional deliveries in the government hospitals, Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao warned that stringent action will be taken against those hospitals indulging in needless caesarian operations.
Participating in a programme at Mother & Care Hospital in Siddipet on Saturday, Harish Rao said Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has launched the KCR Kits programme, which is first of its kind in the country. These kits, he said, will prove handy for both mother and child for three months. The private hospitals should shun needless caesarian surgeries as they are causing loss and agony to the patients.
He expressed concern that some private and corporate hospitals are indulging in unnecessary caesarian operations for the sake of money. The government is focusing on such malpractices in the private hospitals. The doctors and staff should have a motto to serve the people and not to suck their blood for money, he opined. Harish also announced to start a dialysis centre at Siddipet Government Hospital soon.
The Minister accused the previous Congress government of throwing the hospitals into dilapidated conditions due to negligence. However, on coming to power, the TRS government is developing all the government hospitals to offer better health services to the common man.
More facilities are being provided to the government hospitals, he said Siddipet will get 300 bed hospital and its construction will be completed in three months. The Chief Minister has announced to launch a medical college in Siddipet, Harish said. Bhojanamrutham programme is getting accolades as it provides food to the relatives of the patients coming to Siddipet MCH Hospital.
