Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has told officials that the TIMS hospitals at Alwal and LB Nagar, the Warangal super speciality hospital and the NIMS expansion must be ready by 2 June 2027, Telangana Formation Day. The new Osmania General Hospital is to be finished and treating patients by December 2027.

The Chief Minister’s Office announced the deadlines late on Thursday, 12 November, after Revanth Reddy’s high-level review with Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha at the Bodhi Pavilion of the Dr MCR HRD Institute in Hyderabad. Construction, equipment purchase and the hiring of doctors and staff are to finish together, the Chief Minister said, and officials are to draw up a full action plan covering the TIMS hospitals and the teaching and nursing colleges.

Warangal and Osmania have had targets before. In a review the government reported on 21 September 2026, Revanth Reddy was angry at delays on the Warangal hospital despite green-channel funding, and ordered work round the clock for 30 days. In October 2025 he had wanted the new Osmania building ready within two years. It is coming up on 32 acres of police land at Goshamahal, which he ordered transferred to the health department in August 2024.

One recruitment process for three TIMS

Recruitment at the Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences hospitals in Sanathnagar, Alwal and LB Nagar is to follow a single process, and doctors and staff can be shifted between the three as needed. Until posts are filled, outside doctors may be engaged, with funds released at once. Group-1 officers will oversee the TIMS hospitals; maintenance and housekeeping will be outsourced and supervised by retired military officers, leaving doctors free to treat patients.

The Sanathnagar TIMS, inaugurated in August 2026 with theatres for heart, kidney and transplant surgery, is to be used fully. When NIMS has no bed free or an operation there is delayed, patients should go to Sanathnagar, with the health principal secretary and the NIMS and TIMS directors in daily touch.

The Chief Minister’s figures

By his account, government hospital beds have gone up from 30,000 to 38,000, outpatient visits from 7 crore to 9 crore and admissions from 23 lakh to 24.30 lakh. Health has drawn an average 4.8% of the state budget over three years, against an average 3.9% in earlier years, and Rajiv Aarogyasri cover is Rs 10 lakh per family, up from Rs 5 lakh. In three years 13,401 doctors, nurses, ANMs and paramedical staff have been hired, with 5,640 more appointments under way. Sixteen new dialysis centres have opened since he took office, and he wants the 79 under construction finished as quickly as possible. He also ordered biometric attendance for doctors and staff in government hospitals.
