Hyderabad: One of the largest veterinary hospitals in India will be built in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: One of India’s largest veterinary hospitals is coming up in Maa Saraswati city. Spread over 5,100 sq ft, the hospital will have an operation theatre, intensive care unit, a range of diagnostic facilities and a medical dispensary with specialist doctors, surgeons and paramedical staff. The facility is being built at the Satya Shivam Sundaram Gau Shala in Gaganpahar on the way to the airport.

It will be a self-sufficient cowshed, equipped with modern diagnostic equipment, X-ray machines, endoscopes, blood-insulin analysers and an ambulance apart from other facilities. The Satya Shivam Sundaram Gaushala is famous for sheltering 3,200 cows in Gaganpahar and 2,800 cows in Burujugadda for the past several years and is said to be the largest cowshed in South India. The new facility, which will come up in the first week of July, is a long-cherished dream of 85-year-old Dharam Raj Ranka, a retired jeweller from the city, who has been on a mission to save cows for the past 30 years, the press release said. The state-of-the-art veterinary hospital will not only take care of the 6,000 cows taking shelter at the Satya Shivam Sundaram Gau Shala in Gaganpahar and Burujugadda, but will also serve animals like sheep, goats, dogs from nearby areas.
