Telangana Diagnostics

Telangana Diagnostics Program started in January 2018 in Hyderabad. This initiative is first of its kind inhouse initiative where quality diagnostic services are provided for free to public. This initiative aimed to reduce burgeoning out of pocket expenses incurred by patients even in government hospitals as not all the tests are available, unreliable testing methods followed, lack of latest equipment at the premises and also unavailability of lab technicians that are trained on the latest equipment. While many state governments opted for outsourcing the free diagnostics program to third party vendors, Government of Telangana decided to build its own infrastructure and a delivery framework around it
