The family health centre at Vazhakkad is the biggest such facility in the country
A government health centre at Vazhakkad in Malappuram is getting spruced up to bring laurels to the State’s health sector. The centre, being reconstructed after it was destroyed in the 2018 floods, is poised to become the biggest and the most advanced family health centre (FHC) in the country when Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inaugurates it on July 24. The ₹10-crore FHC at Vazhakkad, funded by Shamsheer Vayalil, NRI entrepreneur and chairman of VPS Healthcare, will be the first of its kind in the State. From ruins, it underwent a complete makeover through the use of modern design and technology. It will be the first such facility in the country promoting the concept of health and wellness with an open gymnasium, play area for children, and other amenities.
