The number of deliveries in government hospitals in Telangana has increased to 72% in July 2023, which is a big improvement from 2014 when only 30% of deliveries took place in government hospitals.
Finance Minister Harish Rao congratulated the medical staff for this achievement and credited it to the increased trust of the people in government hospitals. He emphasized that this progress was made possible with the guidance of Chief Minister KCR.
In 2014, only 30% of deliveries happened in government hospitals, meaning that out of every 100 pregnant women, only 30 would choose a government hospital while 70 would opt for a private hospital. However, with the determination of CM KCR, the situation has completely changed in just nine years. The birth rate has risen from 69% in April to 72% in July. This is a remarkable accomplishment and demonstrates the quality of care available in government hospitals in Telangana.
Minister Harish Rao highlighted that the government is committed to providing quality healthcare to all citizens and this increase in deliveries is just one example of the progress being made. He encouraged pregnant women to take advantage of the services offered by government hospitals and assured them of receiving the best possible care.
