To support this initiative, the state plans to construct a 1,000-acre health campus near the airport, providing comprehensive medical care for international patients. The Chief Minister highlighted Telangana’s significant contribution to pharmaceutical production, manufacturing one-third of India’s bulk drugs.
Mr. Reddy also lauded the legacy of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy’s Aarogyasri healthcare scheme and announced the Congress government’s expansion of the scheme’s coverage from ₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh per person.
