Telangana CM Revanth Reddy instructs officials to prepare action plan to expedite works in medical colleges

CM Revanth Reddy directs officials to expedite medical college infrastructure, recruit staff, and introduce Japanese language for nursing students.

"The state government will release necessary funds immediately. – Revanth Reddy"

Hyderabad, June 16

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy instructed the officials on Monday to prepare an action plan immediately to ensure the functioning of 34 medical colleges with all necessary facilities.

According to a release from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), CM Reddy also ordered the officials to constitute an Official Committee to develop infrastructure in all medical colleges. The Committee should visit each college and submit a report on the development of amenities, the requirement of funds, expediting the completion of all works in the colleges, assistance from the government, etc.

CM Reddy held a review meeting with the officials of the Health Department at the ICCC on Monday. He discussed several issues raised by the National Medical Council (NMC) regarding the medical colleges in the state.

The Chief Minister directed the officials to prepare a comprehensive report on all the issues related to recruitment in government medical colleges, promotions of teaching staff, increased beds in hospitals affiliated to medical colleges, the requirement of medical equipment in the colleges, and filling of the vacancies.

The Chief Minister said that the state government will release necessary funds immediately and that officials should immediately bring to the government's attention the release of funds and permissions from the Union Ministry of Health. The state government will address all these issues by approaching the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, JP Nadda, and the concerned officials in the ministry, the CM said.

In view of the high demand for nursing staff in Japan, Chief Minister Reddy instructed the officials to include Japanese language as an optional subject in the Nursing Colleges. The Japanese Government has already extended its support to provide arrangements for teaching the Japanese language to nursing students in the state, the Chief Minister said.

CM Reddy also suggested that officials study the issue of using an App to closely monitor the patients who come to the hospitals, doctors' services to the patients, and hospital opening times. Considering the importance of medical services and medical education, the Chief Minister instructed the state Chief Secretary K Ramakrishna Rao to conduct a review of these two wings in the third week of every month.

State Health Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha, Chief Secretary Ramakrishna Rao, Chief Minister's Principal Secretary V. Seshadri, Chief Minister's Secretary Manik Raj, Health Secretary Christina Z Chongthu, Director of Health Dr. Narendra Kumar and others were present during the meeting.

Finally some concrete action on medical education in Telangana! The previous government built colleges but didn't provide proper facilities. CM Revanth Reddy's focus on infrastructure and faculty recruitment is much needed. Hope this translates to better healthcare services. 🤞

Including Japanese in nursing colleges is a smart move! Many Indian nurses go abroad for better opportunities. This will help our youth get high-paying jobs in Japan while easing their shortage of medical staff. Win-win situation!

Good intentions but implementation is key. We've seen many such announcements before. The app for monitoring hospital services sounds promising - hope it actually improves accountability. Also, why only monthly reviews? Healthcare needs constant supervision.

As a doctor, I appreciate the focus on faculty recruitment and promotions. Many medical colleges have vacant teaching posts affecting education quality. Hope they follow through with proper recruitment process, not just political appointments.

The Japanese language initiative shows forward thinking! But what about improving basic facilities first? Many government hospitals lack clean drinking water and working equipment. Priorities should be balanced between international opportunities and local needs.

Good to see the CM taking NMC concerns seriously. Medical education standards have been declining across India. If Telangana can set an example in proper infrastructure and faculty development, it will benefit the entire country. More power to such initiatives! 👍
