Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy inaugurated a new super-specialty facility of Medicover Hospitals in the Financial District of Hyderabad, marking the hospital group’s 25th centre in India and strengthening the city’s position as a rapidly growing healthcare hub.
The newly launched 550-bed hospital is among the tallest hospital buildings in the country and has been developed with advanced medical infrastructure and cutting-edge diagnostic technologies. The facility is expected to provide comprehensive tertiary healthcare services across multiple specialties.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Telangana Health Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha, MP-elect Vem Narender Reddy, and other senior officials, along with the leadership team of Medicover Hospitals.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said Hyderabad continues to emerge as one of the leading healthcare destinations in India. He noted that the establishment of modern hospitals equipped with advanced technologies would enhance healthcare accessibility and significantly improve the quality of medical services available to people in the state.
Health Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha highlighted the Telangana government’s commitment to strengthening the healthcare ecosystem by expanding medical infrastructure and specialised facilities. He said the government is prioritising key sectors such as education, healthcare and social security to ensure holistic development and better public welfare.
Addressing the growing burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the minister announced that the state government plans to establish 89 new dialysis centres in addition to the existing 102 centres currently operating across Telangana. The expansion aims to ensure dialysis services are available within a 20-kilometre radius for patients throughout the state.
The minister also revealed that the government is implementing a three-tier trauma care policy to strengthen emergency medical services. As part of this initiative, 109 trauma centres will be developed across Telangana at intervals of 35–40 kilometres, with each centre estimated to cost around Rs6 crore.
In addition, the state government is focusing on promoting medical tourism, with certain healthcare facilities expected to cater to international patients seeking specialised treatment, he added.
Speaking at the event, Dr Anil Krishna, Chairman and Managing Director of Medicover Hospitals India, described the inauguration as a significant milestone for the hospital group. He noted that Medicover began its journey in India in 2014, around the same time the state of Telangana was formed, and has since grown steadily to operate 25 hospitals across four states.
“With the opening of this facility, we are proud to expand our healthcare network while maintaining our strong roots in Hyderabad and Telangana,” he said.
