Damodar Raja Narasimha Launches Health Camp for Police Families, Highlights Telangana’s Focus on Affordable Care

Hyderabad: Telangana Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha inaugurated a comprehensive health camp for police families in Sangareddy on Wednesday, underlining the government’s commitment to strengthening public healthcare across the state.

The initiative, jointly organised by the Sangareddy police, Mehdi Nawaz Jung Cancer Hospital, and the Indian Medical Association (IMA), brought together specialists from 13 medical fields to provide free consultations and screenings. Narasimha said the programme reflects the state’s duty to safeguard the well-being of those who serve.

“Our goal is to make government hospitals as efficient as private ones and ensure healthcare is within everyone’s reach,” the minister said, adding that the health infrastructure is being reinforced from rural villages to major cities.

He also pointed out rising kidney-related ailments in Telangana, announcing that 80 new dialysis centres will be added to the existing 160 across the state. Trauma care facilities are being established along highways, while every district now hosts a day-care cancer centre providing chemotherapy.

Narasimha noted that Sangareddy is witnessing rapid expansion in health infrastructure — including a 500-bed government hospital, new nursing and paramedical colleges, and several newly sanctioned PHCs and CHCs.

Analysis: This initiative not only underscores Telangana’s growing investment in healthcare but also its focus on frontline workers’ welfare. By extending such camps to police families, the state is sending a strong message about inclusive health access. For citizens, these measures signal a broader effort to decentralise medical care — bringing quality treatment closer to communities rather than confining it to big cities.
