Preventive health checks begin slow resurgence in city hospitals
The Hindu
During the pandemic, general health services were suspended in many places, and the fear of contracting COVID-19 kept many from undergoing master check-ups
Preventive screenings took the back-seat due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After slowing down or being suspended during the first and second waves, preventive healthcare services are slowly picking up pace across city hospitals. Fear of contracting COVID-19 in a hospital setup kept many away from undergoing master health check-ups. Nevertheless, doctors underlined the need for such preventive checks for early detection of diseases and better treatment outcomes. As routine screenings went for a toss, a number of hospitals, keeping in mind the changing needs of people, have redesigned their preventive healthcare packages, bringing in post-COVID related tests. The Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) saw a drastic fall in the number of persons seeking preventive health check-ups at the Master Health Check-up Centre.
