The Hindu
The Corporation sources said the civic body had to return the money to the government because it could not find in time a land suitable for the Neelikonampalayam UPHC.
The Coimbatore Corporation Urban Primary Health Centre (UPHC) in Neelikonampalayam, Ward 58, functions out of a community hall. The Corporation runs the UPHC from the community hall since 2017. Prior to shifting the UPHC to the community hall, the Corporation had housed it in a rented building in Balasundaram Layout.
At the time of shifting the UPHC, the Corporation had ₹40 lakh on hand to construct a new building, one with rooms for delivery, doctors, staff nurses, laboratories, etc. The Central government had given the money to the Corporation under the National Urban Health Mission for constructing or upgrading buildings for UPHCs.
