Hyderabad – The Telangana Health Department is taking urgent steps to ensure hospitals and clinics have enough critical medicines. This move follows a precision strike by Indian armed forces on terrorist camps in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) and parts of Pakistan on Wednesday.
Acting on instructions from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, health officials have started checking medical supplies at all government-run health facilities. These include 638 Primary Health Centres, 248 Urban Primary Health Centres, and 468 Basti Dawakhanas across the state.
The focus is on stocking up life-saving medicines and preparing emergency medical teams in case of any unexpected developments in the coming days. Officials have been told to stay alert and respond quickly if supplies run low.
Each district’s health authorities, along with District Medical and Health Officers (DMHOs), have been asked to monitor medicine stocks daily. If shortfalls are found, they must contact their Central Medicine Stores (CMS). Special vehicles will deliver the required medicines as needed.
In a high-level meeting at the Integrated Command Control Center (ICCC), the Chief Minister reviewed the state’s emergency preparedness. This included checking the availability of blood units, hospital beds, essential medicines, and even food supplies for patients and staff.
CM Revanth Reddy also stressed the importance of working closely with the Red Cross to strengthen emergency response systems. He directed health officials and hospital superintendents to report any urgent medical needs so that supplies can be dispatched immediately.
The heightened alert comes after India’s military action against terror bases across the border. In response, Telangana is stepping up its healthcare readiness to protect its people during any crisis.
