A public interest litigation petition was filed before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Wednesday seeking a new Government Medical College and Hospital at Ramanathapuram.

The petitioner, G. Thirumurugan, said that the Ramanathapuram Government Hospital did not have enough infrastructure and the region attracted a great number of tourists and pilgrims. So there was a need for better facilities at the hospital in cases of emergency. A new hospital with adequate facilities would reduce mortality rate. Also, outreach services and case management would improve to a great extent. He had sent a representation to the State in this regard but it was not considered.

Taking up the plea for hearing, a division bench of Justices C. T. Selvam and A. M. Basheer Ahamed directed notice to the Heath and Family Welfare department and adjourned the case for further hearing.
