CM Naidu Directs Officials to Set Up 100-Bed Hospital in Every Assembly

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday directed officials to establish a 100-bedded hospital in every Assembly constituency. 

Reviewing measures to improve healthcare facilities, the CM also deliberated on under construction medical colleges in Markapuram, Madanapalle, Pulivendula, and Adoni. 

"The chief minister directed officials to establish a 100-bedded hospital in every constituency," said an official

Incidentally, the southern state has 2.24 beds per 1,000 population while the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends three beds, requiring another 12,756 beds, which prompted the CM to direct officials to conduct a detailed study on this aspect. Likewise, Naidu instructed officials to provide mobile medical services in every village through 'Arogya Ratham' (health chariot) and reviewed various types of kits prepared for implementing NTR Baby Kits scheme.
