Hyderabad: Telangana government issued an order on Tuesday upgrading the Chennur community health centre to a 100-bedded hospital. The cost of the new facility is estimated to be around Rupees 32.15 crore.
Government chief whip Balka Suman expressed his gratitude towards chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and health minister T Harish Rao for upgrading the centre to a 100-bedded hospital, on behalf of the people of Chennur Assembly Constituency.
“Long awaited dream of the people has been fulfilled and the public will now be able to find better medical services with the advent of the facility”, he said.
