Government Hospital
Avanigadda Government Area Hospital is a public healthcare facility located in Avanigadda, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, with postal code 521121. It serves as one of the primary government-run hospitals in the region, providing medical care to residents of Avanigadda town and nearby villages. The hospital is part of the Andhra Pradesh Medical & Health services network, which implements various programs including free diagnostics, maternal and child health services, and public health management via initiatives like Tele-Radiology, HMIS tracking, and online drug inventory systems. It is certified under the national health systems regulatory structures. Despite its importance, there have been reports of infrastructure and operations challenges. For example, in August 2023 the hospital experienced a power outage that affected most of the facility (except emergency ward), raising concerns about lack of backup power (generator) and disruptions to critical equipment such as oxygen concentrators. The hospital’s rating in local directories is fairly positive (around 3.9/5) from a small number of user reviews. It is ranked highly among local hospitals in Avanigadda for being government-run and accessible. CHC-Avanigadda is certified under the National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC).
