22 Dec 2025 CW Team

Vijayawada Government General Hospital (GGH) in NTR district is set for a significant upgrade in medical infrastructure following an initiative by Kesineni Sivanath. Advanced medical equipment for key departments, including cardiology, ophthalmology and radiology, is expected to be provided in the near term.

On Wednesday, the MP met Hardeep Singh Puri in New Delhi and submitted a detailed proposal seeking financial support through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds. He requested an allocation of Rs 28 million from public sector undertakings under the Petroleum Ministry, including ONGC, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, Gas Authority of India Limited and Oil India Limited.

Explaining the need for the proposal, the MP said Vijayawada GGH serves not only rural areas of NTR district but also economically weaker sections, and has seen a steady rise in patient volumes. The proposal outlines the procurement of advanced equipment for the cardiology department, including a treadmill test machine, 2D echo system, pacemaker pulse generator for bedside TPI procedures, and multi-parameter monitors with IABP support.

For ophthalmology, the plan includes a visual field analyser, optical coherence tomography, a non-contact tonometer and a phacoemulsification machine. The radiology department is expected to receive a 1,000 mA digital radiography X-ray unit.

Kesineni Sivanath said the provision of these devices through the CSR funds of petroleum PSUs would significantly improve treatment quality at Vijayawada GGH, benefiting residents across all seven Assembly constituencies in NTR district. Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri is understood to have responded positively to the request.
