Officials inspected land within the hospital for the hostel project. The plan will provide housing for 180 female doctors and 100 male doctors. Christina said proposals will soon be prepared and sent to the government.
Moreover, she noted that hundreds of doctors will stay on-site round the clock, which will ensure stronger medical support for patients. In addition, Christina asked the GHMC Zonal Commissioner to hand over the G+3 Dharma Shala building to the Health Department.
However, the secretary warned against earlier violations in CSR-funded purchases and stressed that strict action would follow. She further directed the hospital superintendent to submit proposals for the required medical equipment. After review by the Directorate of Medical Education, the proposals will move to the Telangana Medical Services and Infrastructure Development Corporation (TMSIDC).
Finally, Christina instructed TMSIDC Managing Director Phanindra Reddy to make purchases through global tenders in line with government rules. Along with her, Ranga Reddy district collector Narayana Reddy, DME Narendra Kumar, GHMC zonal commissioner Anurag Jayanti, and other senior officials attended the meeting.
