Tiruchi Corporation Expands Polyclinic Healthcare Services
The Tiruchi Corporation is making it easier for people to see doctors by adding more polyclinics.
These clinics are like mini-hospitals that offer different types of doctors, like those for women's health and kids.
They're open in the evenings for six days a week.
Many people already use these clinics, so the city is opening new ones in Kamaraj Nagar and Thiruvanaikoil.
They are also planning to add radiology services for tests.
This helps people, especially those who may have trouble getting to the main hospital.
Tiruchi Corporation is expanding polyclinic services to two additional UPHCs.
Polyclinics offer specialized healthcare including general medicine, obstetrics, and dental services.
Specialists at the clinics see an average of 45 patients daily for certain specialities and 20 for others.
The expansion aims to increase access to healthcare, especially for underprivileged populations.
Radiology services are planned to be added, including scanning for pregnant women.
