CM KCRsaid that people should not entertain any fear or anxiety
over Corona Virus but at the same time they should not be negligent in their
behaviour. The CM declared that those having Corona Virus need not go to the
private hospitals and spend huge amounts for the treatment as the required
medical treatment for the Virus is very much available in the government
Hospitals. The government doctors and staff are well equipped to treat any
number of patients. The CM thanked the medical doctors, staff for extending their
excellent services to contain the virus’ spread and offering good treatment to
the patients.
The CM held a

Secretary Sri Rajasekhar Reddy and others participated. In this context, the CM
made several suggestions. The CM has taken several decisions with regard to
medical and Health department.
----Corona is present in all the countries in the world, all the states
in the country; it is not present only in Telangana State. When compared to the
national average, the state’s death rate is less. The recovery rate in the
State is also much higher. As on Thursday, those taking treatment as
in-patients in the hospitals were 3,692. Of them 200 were having other serious
ailments and the rest are recovering. As on Thursday, 41, 018 were affected by
the Corona in the state. Of this, 27,295 (67 Per cent) have recovered,
discharged and went home. Among others, 9636 were asymptomatic and they were
under the home quarantine. Others are taking treatment in the hospitals. They
are also recovering very fast. Even the asymptomatic patients were also given treatment
and advice by reviewing their condition from time to time based on the ICMR
recommended Covid Protocol.
---The Unlock process is going on in the country. The centre has decided to begin the
international air services. We have come to a stage where living with Corona is
a must. But none should have any fear about Corona. At the same time people
should not be negligent. Maintain personal hygiene. Wear Masks. Use Sanitizers.
Remain in the house as much as possible.
----The government is well equipped to contain the Virus spread and to
give treatment to those affected by the Corona. Initially, the Central
government was in state of confusion at first to face the spread of Virus. But as far as Telangana State is concerned,
all the necessary equipment, medicines, tools were gathered. Now there is no
shortage of anything. In Gandhi and TIMS hospitals, 3000 beds are ready with
Oxygen supply facilitates in Hyderabad alone. All over the State, 5000 Beds
were kept ready with the Oxygen supply facility. In all 10,000 beds are kept
ready exclusively for the Corona patients.
Such a number of beds were not there in the past. 1500 Ventilators were
kept ready. PPE Kits and N95 Masks are available in lakhs in numbers. There is
no shortage of medicines, equipment. Government doctors and staff are rendering
a yeoman service. There is no need to react to some who make cheap comments and
criticism. We should move forward with self-confidence. The doctor teams should
concentrate on giving better treatment effectively.
---There is no need for the people to rush to private hospitals and
spend huge amounts of money and face a lot of hardships. Best treatment is
given in the Government Hospitals based on the guidelines issued by the ICMR.
In case anyone has symptoms, they should take medical advice and treatment. In
our State right from the PHC level, facilities are created to treat the Corona
patients. People should utilise this. The government is ready to spend any
amount of money to contain the virus and give treatment to the needy.
----Rs 100 Crore is additionally allocated to the general budget to take
up urgent measures to contain the virus and to give treatment. It will be kept
with Medical and Health Minister and Chief Secretary to take the immediate
measures necessary.
--It is decided to implement UGC scales to the teachers working in
medical Colleges.
---The newly appointed Nurses will also get their pay on par with the
old counterparts.
--It is also decided to enhance the retirement limit for those working in
the Ayush department to 65 years.
--It is also decided to extend Covid Incentive of 10 per cent additional
pay to every one working in the Medical and Health department without leaving
anyone including the out sourcing employees. It is also decided to extend the
Incentive allowance given to the Police personnel, sanitary workers working in
the municipalities, Panchayats.
---The officers concerned are instructed to induct 1200 doctors who have
completed the PG into the government service.
-
200 Doctor vacancies in PHCs should
be filled up immediately, the CM instructed.
--Keep injection vials of Remdesivir, Tocilizumab and Favilavir Tablets
in large quantities. Give them free of cost to the needy. There should not be
any shortage of these medicines at all costs.
---Private hospitals should maintain transparency in the availability of
beds. The government will act strictly if artificial shortage is created.
Display at every hospital on how many beds they have and how many are occupied?
Give information to the government from time to time.
