Pursuant to this decision, the Youth Advancement, Tourism and Culture Department has issued orders, transferred the Sports Village building at Gachibowli, along with appurtenant land of 9 Acres 16 Gunta, to the Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department to develop it as an exclusive COVID-19 Hospital to begin with and then to develop as a Multi–Specialty Hospital cum Premier Medical College.
In fall 2023, the facility shrank, no longer accepting inpatients, and treating outpatients with a small staff. The final fate of the medical facility has yet to be decided.
