Visakhapatnam South MLA Vamsi Krishna Srinivas, who inaugurated the plants on 3 July 2025, said that efforts were on to provide better facilities to patients at the hospital. The MLA also inaugurated a welcome arch at the entrance of the hospital.

“We are working hard for an all-round development of the constituency with an aim to make it a model one,” said the MLA.
