Hyderabad: Maa Saraswathi Veterinary Hospital Charitable Society will set up one of India’s biggest veterinary hospitals, at Peddashahpur in Shamshabad. The facility, to be unveiled on Sunday, will operate on 5,100 sqft of space. It will have five doctors including a surgeon, an anesthetist and three medical staff. Its other infrastructure includes endoscopy room, operation theatre, doctors’ meeting room, asst doctors’ room. There is a shortage of veterinary care in the city. The only government-run veterinary hospital in the city lacks basic facilities while the private hospital caters for the rich and the elite. Draramraj Ranka, 83, a jewellery shop owner, will set up the new facility. Ranka took early retirement from service to serve the bovine population. “I have always taken part in protests against cow slaughter. I was part of a few cow shelters in the city. The first one is near lower Tankbund while the later wsa at Gaganpahad in Shamshabad. The two shelters have more than 5,500 cows, 100 employees and two doctors. The animals here were rescued from illegal slaughtering,” he said. The new facility will be a dream come true for Ranka. The hospital will be equipped with all latest facilities, modern diagnostics, blood insulin analyzer along with 24-hour ambulance service.
