    Gadwal: On Thursday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders unexpectedly visited a government health center in Ayija town. Ayija Town BJP President Kompati Bhagat Reddy expressed serious concerns about the worsening public health services under the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government in Telangana.

    Diabetes Concerns and Insulin Shortage

    Citing the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) from 2019-2021, Reddy highlighted serious health issues in the state. The report shows:

    • 13.8% of men and 10.2% of women in Telangana have diabetes.
    • Over 1.19 million people aged 30+ are diabetic.
    • Telangana ranks third in India for the number of diabetic patients.

    The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare confirmed these alarming statistics in a recent report. Despite the urgency, insulin has been missing from government hospitals and Primary Health Centres (PHCs) for four months. Reddy blamed the Congress government for failing to secure insulin supply agreements.

    Medicine Shortages in Hospitals

    Reddy criticized the healthcare system, revealing that only 266 out of 863 types of medicines are currently available in public hospitals, according to 2022 records. He attributed this gap to the Congress government’s mismanagement.

    • Many PHCs lack basic amenities, such as ceiling fans.
    • The monsoon has heightened risks of diseases like dengue, malaria, and diarrhea.
    • Hospitals lack medicines to treat a surge in viral fevers.

    Reddy stated that the government’s inaction is forcing citizens into uncertainty and suffering.

    BJP Calls for Immediate Action

    Alongside Reddy, BJP leaders Lakshman Goud, Bellankonda Nagaraju, Veeresh Goud, Narasimhulu, and Venkatesh took part in the visit. They demanded urgent restoration of medicine supplies, payment of overdue salaries to healthcare workers, and improved PHC facilities to tackle health issues.

    The BJP leaders warned that continued neglect of public health would have serious long-term effects and pledged to keep advocating for change until improvements are made.
