Interview | Health care system stands exposed: Eatala Rajender

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Etala Rajendar, minister for health, medical and family welfare, is under much pressure. He’s busy working as per the guidelines of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, helping the state tide over the deadly Covid-19 crisis.

Yet, how come we have put in so much effort to build a new Secretariat and never thought of building a single new government hospital in Hyderabad? And, I reiterate, not a single new government hospital in Hyderabad — a city we boasted would be the hub of global medical tourism — since Telangana state came into existence.
