The Erode Corporation on Monday deployed two buses to transport COVID-19 positive persons from the screening centre to the Government Erode Medical College Hospital (GEMCH) at Perundurai or to the COVID-19 Care Centres. The civic body, starting Sunday, had arranged five ambulances to pick up COVID-19 positive patients from their houses to the screening centre set up at the Corporation marriage hall near the bus stand. At the screening centre, the patients undergo CT scan.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
