Governor ESL Narasimhan on Wednesday urged the Telangana and AP the governments and private health care providersto hammer out a way to provide affordable health care. “Please move to the districts of Telangana and AP and provide your services out there. I urge Health Ministers of both the States to call for an urgent meeting of all the stakeholders, including L. V. Prasad Eye Institute, to hammer out a plan ,” he said.
The Governor was participating in a programme organised by L. V. Prasad Eye Institute marking a record 20,000 corneal surgeries by the group in the country. Interestingly, close to 55 per cent of these corneal surgeries were done for non-paying patients. “When L.V. Prasad Eye Hospital can do it, why can’t other corporate hospitals do the same? ,” the Governor asked.
