Guidelines issued for admission of patients from other States in Telangana hospitals

Patients from other States should have prior tie-up with the hospital in Telangana for Covid admission.

The State government has issued a series of guidelines to streamline the admission of patients coming from other States into the hospitals here. For the last four days, dozens of ambulances from Andhra Pradesh were held up on the inter-State A.P.-T.S. borders at Ramapuram check post near Kodada (Suryapet district), Wadapalli (Nalgonda district) and Pullur check post near Kurnool-Jogulamba-Gadwal district borders. On Friday too, tension mounted near the Pullur check post with T.S. police refusing entry to the ambulances carrying critically ill patients for want of proper documents. Patients from other States should have prior tie-up with the hospital in Telangana for Covid admission. The hospitals on their part will apply in prescribed format to the control room set up for the purpose (phone no:- 040-24651119 and 9494438251 (WhatsApp), e-mail: ). The applications will have basic details like the name of the patient, age, State, attendant’s name, mobile number, and type of bed tied up/care required.
