Hyderabad: The Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) will be upgraded to a super-speciality hospital and the government will appoint regular employees, said finance minister T Harish Rao on a query over the closure of TIMS here on Saturday. “All the temporary employees will be given advantage for regular recruitment,” he added.

He further said that per capita expenditure on health was increased from Rs 1,695 to Rs 3,092 in the state and medical seats were increased from 700 to 2,840.
