Erolla Srinivas takes charge as corporation chairman
Health Minister T. Harish Rao highlighted the role of Telangana State Medical Services and Infrastructure Development Corporation (TSMIDC) in arranging crucial medical resources services as Errolla Srinivas took charge as its chairman on Wednesday.
The Minister said that the crucial responsibility of providing diagnostic tests and medicines is on Mr Srinivas even as he sought to explain how the corporation’s officials and staff are involved in tasks such as constructing hospital buildings, providing furniture, medicines, surgical equipment, maintaining sanitation and security at the healthcare facilities, and other responsibilities. “TSMIDC arranges everything from a needle to CT Scan,” Mr Harish Rao put it succintly.
All sections of Health department played a crucial part during the two waves of COVID-19 pandemic which has ravaged many lives, he said. Government hospitals were the centre of focus as lakhs of people relied on them for treatment. There was severe shortage of some medicines such as Remdesivir and those used in the treatment of Mucormycosis, oxygen supply for people being treated at home, and other resources. The Health Minister said the TSMIDC swung into action to arrange the life-saving medical resources.
