 Official: TIMS Sanathnagar Renamed After Marri Chenna Reddy – New Name Revealed

In a move that beautifully bridges the state’s rich political history with its modern healthcare ambitions, the Telangana government has officially renamed the Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) in Sanathnagar, Hyderabad. The premier medical institution will now be known in honor of the late Marri Chenna Reddy, a revered former Chief Minister and a towering figure in the region’s political landscape.

A Tribute to a Champion of the People

Marri Chenna Reddy served as the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh and was widely respected for his grassroots connect, administrative acumen, and unwavering dedication to public welfare. His tenure was marked by a strong focus on agricultural development, social justice, and laying the foundational infrastructure that would benefit generations to come.

By attaching his name to a major medical and educational institution, the government is ensuring that his legacy of public service continues to inspire future leaders, doctors, and healthcare professionals in the state.

A New Chapter for TIMS Sanathnagar

Located in the heart of Hyderabad, the Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) has rapidly emerged as a crucial hub for medical education, research, and patient care. The institute is designed to provide world-class healthcare facilities while training the next generation of medical talent to tackle the region’s health challenges.

Bestowing the name of Marri Chenna Reddy upon this institute elevates its stature, infusing the campus with a sense of historical pride and responsibility. It serves as a daily reminder to students and staff alike of the high standards of integrity and service that the former leader embodied.

Blending Heritage with Modern Healthcare Vision

This renaming is part of a broader, thoughtful initiative by the Telangana government to commemorate the architects of the state’s development while simultaneously upgrading its civic infrastructure.

Rather than just building new facilities, the administration is actively weaving the state’s historical narrative into its modern institutions. This approach not only preserves the memory of pivotal leaders but also fosters a deeper sense of identity and pride among the citizens of Telangana.

Looking Ahead

As the Marri Chenna Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences in Sanathnagar moves forward, it carries with it the weight of a remarkable legacy and the promise of a healthier future. With state-of-the-art facilities, dedicated faculty, and a name that commands respect, the institute is perfectly positioned to become a beacon of medical excellence in South India.

Empowering Dialysis Professionals Through Continuous Medical Education

DCDC Kidney Care, in collaboration with Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, successfully organized a Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme in Hyderabad, reaffirming its commitment to advancing excellence in kidney care through continuous professional learning and skill development.

The programme witnessed enthusiastic participation from more than 200 dialysis technicians and nursing professionals representing healthcare institutions across Telangana. Designed as a comprehensive capacity-building initiative, the CME served as a valuable platform for frontline healthcare professionals to enhance their clinical expertise, update their knowledge on the latest advancements in nephrology, and strengthen best practices in dialysis management.

Dialysis technicians and nursing professionals play an indispensable role in the treatment journey of patients with chronic kidney disease. Their clinical competence, adherence to infection control protocols, patient monitoring skills, and commitment to quality care significantly influence patient safety and treatment outcomes. Recognizing this vital responsibility, the programme focused on equipping participants with evidence-based knowledge, practical insights, and the latest clinical guidelines to support the delivery of safe, effective, and patient-centric dialysis care.

The academic sessions were led by an esteemed panel of 14 nephrology experts and senior clinicians, who shared their expertise on a wide range of topics related to nephrology and dialysis. The distinguished faculty included Dr. Manjusha Yadla, Professor and Head of the Department of Nephrology, Dr. Shrinivas, and Dr. Srikanth, whose insightful presentations encouraged meaningful discussions and knowledge exchange among participants. The programme was also graced by the presence of Dr. Hariprasad, Head of the Department of Nephrology, District Hospital, Mahabubabad.

Throughout the day, participants engaged in interactive academic sessions covering advancements in dialysis techniques, patient safety protocols, infection prevention, vascular access management, emergency preparedness, quality improvement practices, and the evolving role of multidisciplinary teams in nephrology care. The sessions fostered collaborative learning and provided practical takeaways that healthcare professionals can implement in their daily clinical practice.

At DCDC Kidney Care, continuous education is an integral part of our mission to improve the quality of kidney care across India. By investing in the knowledge and skills of dialysis technicians and nursing professionals, we aim to strengthen the healthcare ecosystem, promote clinical excellence, and ensure better outcomes for every patient undergoing dialysis treatment.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, the distinguished faculty members, healthcare leaders, and every participant whose enthusiasm and commitment made this CME programme a resounding success. Together, we continue to build a stronger, more knowledgeable, and compassionate dialysis care community dedicated to transforming the lives of patients with kidney disease.

Together, we learn. Together, we grow. Together, we advance kidney care.
