Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Hyderabad[2][3][4] (Abbreviated TIMS, Hyderabad or TIMS or TIMSR) is a dedicated COVID-19 hospital in Telangana, India. It is later to be developed as a medical school and public hospital. The hospital came into existence with the issue of G.O.Ms.No. 22, Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department on 25 April 2020.[2]
History[edit]
In view of COVID-19 pandemic in India, it was decided by the Government of Telangana to establish a hospital in the Sports Hostel Building at G.M.C Balayogi Athletic Stadium, Gachibowli, Ranga Reddy District[3][4] to provide health services. Pursuant to this decision, the Youth Advancement, Tourism and Culture Department has issued orders, transferred the Sports Village building at Gachibowli, along with appurtenant land of 9 Acres 16 Gunta,[2] to the Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department to develop it as an exclusive COVID-19 Hospital to begin with and then to develop as a Multi–Specialty Hospital cum Premier Medical College.[5]
In fall 2023, the once useful facility has shrunk, no longer accepting inpatients, treating outpatients with a small staff.[6] The ultimate fate of once essential medical facility has yet to be decided.
