Hyderabad: Nearly 260 employees of the Telangana National Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) have been diagnosed with acute health problems requiring immediate treatment, a recent health check by the company showed. While most of them were treated at RTC hospitals, others were referred to private hospitals for better treatment.
In view of providing health protection, TSRTC Chairman Bajireddy Govardhan and Managing Director VC Sajjanar recently ordered officials to organize a large health camp for 50,000 employees at all warehouses in the state. Health records were created for approximately 48,000 employees, of whom approximately 260 were diagnosed with serious health problems.
Although these employees were very active and performed their duties regularly, doctors found that they had serious health problems.
TSRTC chairman Bajireddy Govardhan said: “All of these employees were identified as having acute health conditions, but they were unaware of this until they were diagnosed after health checks.”
According to the data, nearly 225 employees died in 2021, most of whom had heart-related problems. Every year, RTC loses 180 to 250 employees to health problems.
Doctors divided staff into different groups, including those with high blood pressure, those not receiving any treatment, those who were critically ill, and those who might turn the corner.
Among employees with acute heart disease, 70 have undergone angiograms and at least 25 have had stents placed, officials said.
RTC officials are planning to launch a dedicated health app for those employees, the sources said. This will be managed by regional warehouse managers who will monitor details of whether employees are taking their medications on time or skipping doses.
