AP Aarogyasri scheme yet to start in NIMS

Hyderabad: While AP government has announced implementation of Aarogyasri scheme in a few hospitals in Hyderabad including NIMS, hospital authorities have stated that they are yet to receive official orders from the neighbouring State.

Hence, patients who are seeking the facility are left disappointed. A 17-year old boy from poor financial background and whose legs were paralyzed wanted to avail the health insurance facility as his family had Aarogyasri card given by AP government.

However, it could not be utilised. Meanwhile, Telangana Health Minister Eatala Rajender inaugurated RICU block with 12 beds that was built by a city builder D Sudhakar Reddy in memory of his wife.
