“There is an increase in the work load due to the KCR Kits. There is an increase in patients from the PHCs to the Teaching Hospitals.

Though the in-patients are outnumbering the beds, the doctors and other staff are rendering services and often working overtime. Their services are to be appreciated. People are hailing the doctors services. We should congratulate the doctors and other staff,” the Chief Minister said.

People are healthy now. Though there is outbreak of diseases elsewhere in the country, it is under control in Telangana state. This is the result of the good work done by the doctors. The Telangana doctors have registered such victories, “the CM hailed the doctors.
