Adilabad: The first Telangana diagnostic hubs of its kind could be a game changer to promote medical infrastructure. They are convenient for rural people using quality but free medical examinations at their nearest primary health centers. The centers are located in the headquarters of Adilabad, Nirmal and Kumram Bheem Asifabad districts.
Patients of various diseases that are part of rural areas are reluctant to undergo medical examinations, taking into account the ever-increasing cost of services and the long travel distance to find the diagnostic centers. Consequently, they cannot detect the ailment and they tend to delay treatment. It is sometimes fatal for them.
‘However, the recently launched Telangana diagnostic hubs are a boon for rural people. People living in rural areas can drop samples of blood, urine and other samples at their nearest primary health centers. They receive medical examinations on their cell phones and can download them from the internet. They do not have to pay a single cent for service, ”Dr P Sadhana, chief executive of the Adilabad facility, told Telangana Today.
R Padma, a native of the city of Asifabad, said she underwent blood, thyroid, urine and lipid profile tests a few days ago at the diagnostic center in the Kumram Bheem district of Asifabad. She expressed satisfaction with the quality of medical examinations. She said she would recommend the plant to her family members and friends.
Dr K Ramya, medical officer at Soan Primary Health Center, said the pivot points could save lives of patients with diabetes, alcoholics and other diseases. ‘With the advent of the facility, many who never thought they were healthy tended to undergo medical examinations. The results helped them to identify the disease in the early stages and to take treatment. It means that their lives are saved, “she said.
Kondamadugu Purushottam, a businessman from Soan, said he and his wife gave samples for thyroid, blood, liver and kidney function tests.
‘Hub staff received us well. They guided and supported us at every stage. The results were sent to the local primary center and also to my cellphone, ”he remarked.
