The super-specialty hospital has been designed as an integrated medical campus with six Centres of Excellence, an advanced diagnostic system and an AI-enabled pneumatic tube system.

In a major move to strengthen Telangana’s public healthcare infrastructure and expand access to advanced tertiary care, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has inaugurated the Dr Marri Chenna Reddy Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (MCR TIMS), Sanathnagar.

The super-speciality hospital has been developed across 53.30 acres, with a built-up area of 11.68 lakh sq ft and a reported project value of INR 1,126 crore.

The hospital will have 1,082 beds, including 300 ICU beds, 400 general beds, 88 emergency beds, 30 dialysis beds, and 264 beds, with 100 earmarked for medical tourism, employees, pensioners, and other categories.

Key Infrastructure

The super-specialty hospital has been designed as an integrated medical campus with six Centres of Excellence covering organ transplantation, cardiac sciences, oncology, neurosciences, nephrology and trauma care.

The facility includes 31 major and six minor operation theatres, along with clinical, diagnostic and support services.

Its laboratory network comprises 17 pathology, 12 microbiology, 10 biochemistry and five specialised laboratories, while its diagnostic infrastructure includes a 3.0 Tesla MRI, a 128-slice CT scanner, an advanced mammography unit and five X-ray machines.

In addition, the hospital has two catheterisation laboratories and a linear accelerator-based radiotherapy facility.

Its clinical profile will cover 28 departments across broad and super-specialities, diagnostics and support services.

As per reports, nine additional departments are planned, including medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, transfusion medicine, and haematology.

Further, a key technology feature is the AI-enabled pneumatic tube system, which will transport blood samples, medicines, reports and emergency supplies between wards, laboratories, the pharmacy and blood bank within one to two minutes.

Officials said the system would help reduce diagnostic delays and minimise contamination risks.

Addressing the event, the CM announced that “ Along with Sanathnagar, we have set a target to complete the LB Nagar, Alwal, and Warangal TIMS hospitals and bring 10,000 beds of state-of-the-art medical facilities into operation. Efforts are continuing in the direction of completing these hospitals by December 9, 2027.”

“To match the services provided by NIMS hospital, which competes with AIIMS, we will appoint one director for each hospital and develop them under their supervision. Not only will we allocate the necessary funds for this, but we will also manage them in a way that no corporate hospital can surpass," said the Chief Minister, directing the health officials to work on the action plan.

“next to Osmania Hospital, we are constructing a 200-bed multi-super speciality hospital in Goshamahal over 30 acres with INR 2,700 crores. We will complete it soon," he further highlighted.

The inauguration ceremony was also attended by Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Mallu, along with Ministers Damodar C. Rajanarsimha, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, and Ponnam Prabhakar, as well as several public representatives.
