To effectively treat those suffering heart attack in villages, it is necessary to have an electrocardiogram testing facility each to cover people for every 50 km in rural areas, said senior cardiologist Padmanabha Kamath here on Thursday.
Inaugurating a free heart check-up camp for journalists and their family members at the Press Club, Dr. Kamath said that those in the city who have symptoms of heart attack can get treatment within one hour of onset of symptoms as there are enough health facilities. But this is not possible for those residing in remote villages.
Dr. Kamath said that he was part of the unique Gram Panchayat Anganwadi project wherein ECG machines are being installed not just in primary health centres but also at sub-centres. Dakshina Kannada should take the lead in making ECG machines accessible to those staying in the remotest corner, he said.
