The Marri Chenna Reddy Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (MCR TIMS), Sanathnagar, is set to be inaugurated by Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on August 17, with the 1,000-bed hospital finally moving towards full-scale operations after months of delay. Speaking to The Hindu ahead of the inauguration, MCR TIMS Sanathnagar director A. Narendra Kumar said Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha and senior officials would attend the event. The inauguration of the 1,000-bed institution had been delayed for several months, with multiple tentative dates being announced but subsequently postponed.
The Telangana government renamed the institute after former Chief Minister Marri Chenna Reddy on July 31. The hospital began a trial run on May 1 as part of preparations for the launch. The ₹1,070-crore project received administrative sanction on April 21, 2022, followed by the foundation stone ceremony five days later. Spread across 22.6 acres within the existing Government Chest Hospital campus, the facility has a total built-up area of 11.68 lakh square feet.
The project was executed by Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL) under a design-build model, with M/s OCI Architects serving as the project management consultant. The hospital comprises four blocks designed to accommodate emergency care, advanced diagnostics, surgery, critical care, outpatient services and academic and administrative facilities. Block A will house emergency services, 15 operation theatres and 30 intensive care units. Block B will serve as the main outpatient registration and service area and will include a centralised pharmacy, cardiac operation theatre, cath labs and a LINAC-based facility for cancer treatment.
Block C will accommodate radiology and pathology laboratories, general and private wards and VIP suites. Block D has been earmarked for administrative and academic functions and will include a 200-seat auditorium.
