Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Thursday removed Dr. Rajakumari as superintendent of Gandhi Hospital and named Dr. Vani as her replacement with additional charge. Health Department Secretary Christina issued the official order confirming the decision.
Officials said the government acted after receiving several complaints about Dr. Rajakumari’s performance. Medical and health staff had informed Health Minister Damodar Rajnarsimha that she failed to manage hospital administration effectively.

The new appointment took effect immediately. Dr. Vani will hold the position until the government makes a permanent posting.
