Telangana government focuses on quaternary healthcare
The telangana government has launched concerted efforts in the last 12 months to develop quaternary medical facilities, which are next-level to the current tertiary care services, in order to give poor patients access to the highest level of medical care that solely focuses on the treatment of very complex and rare medical conditions.
The State government of telangana is now creating exclusive quaternary hospital beds in government hospitals for the first time. These medical facilities are anticipated to become a reality in the next years since their development requires the creation of sophisticated medical infrastructure and the employment of super-specialists.
The health Department intends to build at least 10,000 beds at government hospitals in and around hyderabad since quaternary healthcare facilities are typically seen as an extension of tertiary care. This will prevent impoverished people from having to travel to for-profit hospitals. Quaternary care, and to a lesser extent tertiary care, are highly developed healthcare facilities that offer experimental surgical interventions, complex surgeries, organ transplants, cardiac surgery, plastic surgery, genetic diagnostics, ICU, and other life-saving procedures.

A few at Osmania General Hospital, a new medical building at the ENT Hospital in Koti, a new state-of-the-art building at the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), three new telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) and Research Centres in Saroornagar, Erragadda, Alwal, and health city in warangal will all have access to such super-specialty hospital beds in the near future.
The telangana government has planned to build new super-specialty institutions in accordance with PGI Chandigarh, AIIMS, New Delhi, IITs, and IIMs because it recognises the need to support research, which is an essential component of quaternary healthcare. The TIMS Act, 2023 was just enacted in the assembly as a result of these efforts.
As is the case with the NIMS Hospital in Punjagutta, all TIMS healthcare institutions will enjoy autonomous status. Similar autonomous high-end healthcare institutes, such as the Sanjay gandhi PG Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in lucknow and the SVIMS in Tirupati, are already operational in a number of States. As the Chancellor and President of all TIMS, chief minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao would have direct control over these institutions, which will undoubtedly have an effect on the quality of healthcare provided overall.
