Hyderabad to become global hub for healthcare, education: Revanth Reddy

The Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for the Public Health Foundation of India's (PHFI) Institute of Public Health Sciences campus and unveiled its Master Plan, describing the initiative as an important step towards strengthening healthcare education, research and public health capabilities in Telangana.

Revanth Reddy assured the institution of the state government's full support and announced that the campus would be completed by June 2, 2028.

Emphasising the importance of accessible healthcare and quality education, the Chief Minister said a nation's progress should be measured by the opportunities available to its children and the quality of healthcare provided to its people.

He outlined his government's vision of making Hyderabad a destination where world-class educational institutions and healthcare facilities are available without people having to travel abroad.

Highlighting the government's financial commitments, Revanth Reddy said Telangana was investing ₹12,000 crore in government hospitals to strengthen public healthcare infrastructure and improve medical services.

Additionally, the government is spending ₹2,500 crore annually through the Aarogyasri health insurance programme and the Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF), providing financial assistance for medical treatment to eligible beneficiaries.

The Chief Minister said these investments reflected the government's determination to expand healthcare access while developing Hyderabad into a major centre for medical education, research and advanced healthcare services.

He also reiterated Telangana's commitment to policy continuity, institutional stability and investor confidence, emphasising that a predictable governance environment was essential for attracting long-term investments.

The proposed PHFI campus is expected to contribute to the development of public health expertise and institutional capacity, complementing the state's broader efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery.

With substantial investments in hospitals, healthcare financing and educational institutions, the Telangana government aims to position Hyderabad as a competitive destination for healthcare and education while improving access to essential services for its citizens.
