Civil Aviation Minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju on Sunday inaugurated a mechanised laundry, which was set up at a cost of Rs. 16.5 lakh, at Gosha Hospital here.
Mr. Ashok said the laundry was sanctioned to provide sterilised bed sheets, pillow covers and aprons to doctors.
Besides releasing more grants under the MPLADS, the Minister said that grants to the tune of Rs. 2 crore would be pooled for the development of the district headquarters and Gosha hospitals, as majority of the poor patients in the area depend on these hospitals.
