Govt studying health machinery

With the referral centres being ill-equipped in terms of facilities and medical as well as para-medical staff, most of the load of health services in the rural areas fell on the main community health centres in the districts. 8220;The Government has decided to reduce the load by improving the scenario at the referral centres8221;, Bhatt said, during a briefing to the Information Department. The minister said a Urology Centre, with state-of-the-art technology, was ready in Vadodara and the people would start getting its benefits within a month, while efforts were being made to provide the city with a full-fledged, independent cancer hospital. He said efforts were on to avail financial assistance from prosperous Indian doctors settled in various parts of the world, and particularly in the United States. 8220;We expect a positive response from them,8221; Bhatt hoped.
