The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), which earlier demanded the government to declare health emergency, has reiterated its demand. A delegation of TRS went to Niloufer hospital in Hyderabad on Tuesday to inspect the cases at the hospital. The MLA s who had a talk with the ailing children there have said that Niloufer Hospital can support 500 patients for treatment and there were over 1400 children undergoing treatment at that hospital.

TRS leader Eetela Rajender has said that government was giving due importance to corporate hospitals on the pretext of Arogya Sri and was completely neglecting government hospitals. He even demanded the government to declare health emergency with immediate effect.
