Kurnool: The Kurnool Government General Hospital has secured the top distinction by conducting 27,998 Aarogyasri cases during the period from August 2023 to May 2024.

This centre caters to the needs of children aged 0-18 years, particularly those who are underage, underweight, suffering from growth problems, or mental or physical illnesses. The district collector suggested that doctors from all government dispensaries and hospitals across the district should identify such children and refer them to this centre.
