Overview
- Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy formally inaugurated the Marri Channa Reddy Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences at Sanathnagar on Monday, August 17, 2026, after a month‑long trial run and the Health Department securing 17 statutory licences.
- The government describes the ₹1,126 crore, 11.68‑lakh sq ft complex as a tertiary centre with 1,082 beds including about 300 ICU beds, 15 major operating theatres, cath labs, dialysis and transplant capacity and dedicated medical‑tourism beds.
- Telangana has sanctioned 2,360 staff posts for the facility, of which about 1,633 are medical roles, and the chief minister asked officials to offer incentives to super‑speciality doctors who do extra hours to boost surgeries and reduce private claims under Aarogyasri and the CMRF.
- The state pledged to finish three more TIMS hospitals (Alwal, L.B. Nagar and Osmania) and a Warangal super‑speciality hospital by December 9, 2027, a programme the government says will add roughly 10,000 beds across the system.
- BRS leaders and other critics say full in‑patient services are not yet active and dispute the ruling party's claim to credit for construction, a contention reflected across local coverage that contrasts the government's operational claims with opposition allegations.
