Another significant achievement in the health sector was the first successful completion of 76.3% of deliveries in telangana in august by government maternity facilities. Conducting such a significant number of deliveries, and improving private hospitals as a result, is no easy undertaking and indicates the growing confidence in state-run healthcare institutions.

Several districts in telangana outperformed the state-wide average of 76.3 per cent in August. The top performing districts, in terms of percentage of pregnancies in government hospitals include Narayanpet (89 per cent), mulugu (87 per cent), medak (86 per cent), Gadwal (85 per cent), bhadradri Kothagudem (84 per cent) and Vikarabad (83 per cent). The lowest performing districts (in terms of handling pregnancies) include mancherial (63 per cent), nirmal (66 per cent), medchal and karimnagar (67 per cent).

"Since 2014, when the monthly delivery rate at public hospitals used to be close to 30%, we have come a long way. At that time, private maternity hospitals handled the majority of births. At a review meeting with senior health authorities, the health minister, T Harish Rao, stated that things are different now.

In telangana, there has been an increase in government hospitals performing pregnancies during the past several years. The proportion steadily began to rise from 31 to 60 and now to 76.3 percent after the introduction of kcr Kits and the financial linked-benefit program.

Successful medical infrastructure upgrades, such as the creation of expanded NICU/SICU facilities for premature newborns, have also significantly influenced how many couples choose government hospitals. The health Minister instructed authorities and healthcare professionals to make sure that no pregnant patient visiting a government hospital needs to go to a private institution in order to receive medical care. pregnant moms must receive all necessary care at government hospitals, he added. "We have ensured high-end maternal services are available at every level in telangana," he said.
