A patient is being helped by his attendants at Osmania General Hospital.
The historic Osmania General Hospital, which boasts of a 90 year long history is likely to be shifted to the premised of Chanchalguda central prison for expansion of its services. The reason for this is the rejection of a proposal for expansion of the hospital to offer corporate standard medical services by the archeology department. The archeology department rejected the proposal of the state government by citing a threat to the existing heritage building of the hospital. The state government had proposed to construct a multi storey building in six acres of land of the hospital. However, the archeology department said that they would not allow the construction of a more than five floor building. It said that the construction bod a building beyond five floors would prove to be a disaster to the existing heritage structure.KKeeping these constraints in mind, the state government is mulling to shift the hospital to chanchalguda for its expansion. State Deputy CM Dr. T.Rajaiah also announced this during his recent visit to the hospital.
