Title: Need to set up an AIIMS
like institute in Telengana.
SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA (SECUNDERABAD): Hon’ble Finance Minister
announced in his budget speech to establish five AIIMS like institutes in five
states. But unfortunately Telangana, the newly formed state couldn’t get a
place in the first list. Telangana is a backward state and very much in need of
AIIMS like institute to cater to the medical needs of the poor.
I would like to inform that there
are only five government colleges in entire Telangana. Even though we have
Nizam Institute of Medical sciences, it is not affiliated to any medical college.
The hospitals in Telangana are not well equipped with facilities in respect of cardio-thoracic
surgery as well as super specialty in neuronsciences. The presence of corporate
hospitals in Hyderabad is of no use to lower middle class as the cost is not
affordable for them.
In order to tackle the problems of
the Fluoride victims of Nalgaonda district, to control the death rate of
tribals due to PF malaria during monsoon period in Adilabad district and to
provide cheaper and qualitative medical facilities to the poor people of the
backward districts like Mehaboobnagar, Medak etc. in Telangana State, I urge
upon the Government to kindly establish an AIIMS like institute in Telangana at
the earliest. Government of Telengana is ready to provide the required
facilities including land near Hyderabad city.
