    BIRRD to be developed as a national level hospital

    Tirupati: TTD Executive Officer AV Dharma Reddy asserted that the BIRRD hospital with its expertise and state-of-the-art infrastructure facilities is capable of handling critical surgeries and affirmed that the TTD-run hospital would be developed as a national-level referral hospital on orthocare.

    Inaugurating the three-day Operative Arthroplasty Summit here on Friday in the temple city, the EO said such summits are rarely held in the country with just 10-12 live surgery sessions. But the BIRRD summit has scheduled 22 live surgeries in three days by top 20 ortho surgeons of the country and nearly 200 surgeons are attending the conference, which is very helpful for exchange of skills and new concepts.

    The BIRRD hospital is conducting several such critical operations including cerebral palsy surgeries free of cost and medical exponents from across the country have been visiting Tirupati and extending their services for whom TTD provides free accommodation, transport, food besides Srivari Darshan, as a token of appreciation of their services for the needy poor.
