Nellore's AYUSH Hospital: A New Dawn for Affordable Healthcare

In a significant development for the city of Nellore, a new AYUSH Homeopathy Hospital is set to rise within the next few months, bringing hope and accessible healthcare to the local community. This announcement came from Municipal Administration Minister Dr. Ponguru Narayana, who laid the foundation stone for the AYUSH Homeopathy Dispensary building, marking the beginning of a new era in the city's healthcare landscape.

The minister revealed that the project, estimated to cost 30 lakh, holds historical significance. The land for the hospital was donated by Guduru Muniswami Naidu nearly three decades ago. Over the years, the hospital's services have been a lifeline for the area's residents, especially the less fortunate, goldsmiths, minorities, and Agnikula Kshatriyas, who heavily rely on affordable AYUSH treatments. However, the temporary thatched structure that initially housed the facility became unsafe, leading to a decade-long period of inconvenience as the dispensary was relocated to Jubilee Hospital.

Dr. Narayana's commitment to addressing this long-standing issue is evident in his statement, "After discussions with the Chief Minister, 30 lakh was sanctioned, and construction of the new building commenced today." This initiative reflects the government's people-centric approach, further emphasized by the introduction of ward-wise public grievance forums (Praja Darbars) to address citizen concerns.

The project has garnered significant local support, with Nellore's Mayor, P Roop Kumar Yadav, and corporator Ramakrishna in attendance at the foundation-laying ceremony. With the minister's assurance of a swift three-month construction period, the new AYUSH Hospital promises to be a beacon of health and well-being for Nellore's residents, marking a new chapter in the city's healthcare journey.
