The Rs. 5 crore facility will be ready within 60 days
The much-awaited catheterization lab is coming up at Thoothukudi Government Medical College Hospital on an outlay of Rs. 5 crore and the facility will be ready within 60 days.
As the Thoothukudi Government Medical College Hospital receives a minimum of 100 patients with cardiac ailments everyday and 50% of them are found to be suffering from blocks in artery, proposals were forwarded to the State Government for establishing the cath lab. As funds required for the cath lab have been allocated from the National Health Mission, civil work for installing the Rs. 5 crore-worth equipments has been completed at a cost of Rs. 28 lakh.
“The remaining work on installation of equipment will be completed within two months and the facility will be ready within 60 days to render advanced cardiac care to the patients, who will get Rs. 2 lakh-worth treatments free of cost here under the Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme,” said Dr. Ramasubramanian, Dean (In-Charge) and Resident Medical Officer Silas Jayamani.
