Our honorable CM recognized the need, challenges and has decided to strengthen the health system further. Hyderabad is a medical hub with people from across the globe visiting the city for treatment. And, it is a matter of great pride for us. Today, it is the name of the doctors than hospitals which is drawing a lot of people to Hyderabad for healthcare.
