Union Minister G Kishan Reddy reviewed the progress of work at Telangana's AIIMS Bibinagar campus on Tuesday, pointing out that people will be able to access the Ayush Department for treatment once the hospital is completed.

Speaking to reporters, Reddy said, "All the new buildings are almost complete. Even in the old section, the emergency block is ready... As soon as the hospital starts functioning, people will receive proper services from the Ayush department as well."

"This is a super-speciality hospital, and it is also very close to nature... The AIIMS hospital will have connectivity to every district of Telangana, improving connectivity and transportation," he added.

Executive Director of AIIMS Bibinagar, Amita Aggarwal, stated that they wished for the people from other states to visit the hospital along with Telangana's citizens.

Highlighting the advanced use of telemedicine adopted by the hospital, she said, "We are currently using telemedicine to connect with people throughout Telangana. Anyone who needs it can consult us through telemedicine from any primary health centre or community health centre, and we are available to them... As soon as our new building is completed, we can provide the best emergency services to the surrounding villages and towns."

Meanwhile, Union Minister Kishan Reddy had also stated that the Union Budget 2026-27 is a strong initiative to achieve India's 2047 goals, adding that some parties wrongly believe a Budget is only about giving free schemes.

Good to see progress. But I hope the focus remains on core medical services and staffing. Many new hospitals open with fanfare but struggle with doctor and nurse shortages. The telemedicine initiative sounds promising though.

The indigenous carbon fibre prosthesis developed with DRDO is what makes me proud. Aatmanirbhar Bharat in action! Providing high-quality, affordable solutions is the need of the hour. Jai Hind!

As someone who has family in the surrounding villages, the mention of improved emergency services and telemedicine connectivity is a huge relief. Access to specialist care without traveling to Hyderabad will save lives.

"Close to nature" is a nice touch, but what about clean water and sanitation infrastructure for the campus and staff quarters? These are often overlooked. Hope the planning is comprehensive.

Excellent development. Bibinagar's location is strategic. Connectivity to every district will be crucial. Hope the transport links, especially for ambulances, are given top priority. The budget mention is also apt - nation building needs investment, not just freebies.
