Hyderabad: Deputy Mayor Mothe Srilatha Shobhan Reddy on Thursday inspected the Urban Primary Health Centre in Lalapet, following rising health concerns linked to the ongoing heavy rains in the city.
Accompanied by Telangana TETU State President Mothe Shobhan Reddy, the Deputy Mayor reviewed hospital infrastructure and interacted with medical staff. She sought updates from officials on preventive steps against the seasonal surge in dengue, typhoid, and other viral fevers.
Patients’ grievances were also noted, with instructions to ensure immediate treatment where required.
“Public health is the first priority,” she said during the visit, adding that the Congress government is modernising government hospitals across both urban and rural areas and establishing new mini super-specialty centres. She highlighted ongoing efforts to expand the ‘Mukhyamantri Aarogya Sri’ scheme, integrate digital health records, and strengthen mobile diagnostics in state hospitals.
The Deputy Mayor noted that Urban PHCs are being equipped to deliver maternal care, child health checkups, vaccinations, and targeted women’s health services.
She said the Lalapet PHC currently serves residents from Tarnaka, Lallaguda, and surrounding areas, and urged staff to maintain service commitment and public health focus.
