Later, he made surprise inspection of the children's ward and the ICU ward, and inquired about the health services being offered to patients.

After hearing their responses, the Minister claimed that the TRS government was taking necessary measures to provide better services. The government was taking measures in ensuring the best possible health services to the people, he promised.

He also pointed out that during previous regime, government hospitals used to have a bad reputation due to lack of facilities and cleanliness, but now that was slowly changing as government hospitals were getting equipped with high-end tech and services.

Speaking on the rising number of swine flu cases in Hyderabad and the rest of Telangana, he assured that there was no need to panic since Gandhi Hospital had a special ward to quarantine the virus and treat the disease.
