Advanced surgical facility inaugurated at Nalgonda govt. hospital

In a major boost to healthcare in Nalgonda, a state-of-the-art Laparoscopic Unit was inaugurated on Monday at the Government General Hospital, Nalgonda.

The unit, established under the aegis of Prateek Foundation, was formally inaugurated by noted gastroenterologist D. Nageshwar Reddy, with Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, attending as chief guest.

Addressing medical students, the Minister highlighted the importance of accessible healthcare. He expressed pride in the new Laparoscopic Unit, stating that such advanced facilities are often unavailable only in some corporate hospitals. He also mentioned that the State government is dedicated to deliver corporate-level healthcare to underprivileged patients.

He reiterated his long-standing efforts to develop Nalgonda’s healthcare infrastructure, including the establishment of a Government Medical College, a ₹40 crore Nursing College, and upgrading the District Government Hospital. He said that minor surgeries will now be conducted locally, benefiting the poor through initiatives by Prateek Foundation.

Dr. Nageshwar Reddy referred to the 4K advanced technology in the newly inaugurated Laparoscopic Unit and highlighted that such high-end equipment is rare even in top corporate hospitals. “I am adopting Nalgonda Medical College to ensure that students get complete access to hands-on internships and research at AIG Hospitals,” he announced.

Renowned gastroenterologist Dr. G.V. Rao, who also participated in the event, appreciated the government’s initiatives.
