The Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Hospital has launched tele-rehabilitation services to ensure continuing treatment for patients who couldn’t visit the hospital during the pandemic. The hospital has been providing rehabilitation services to patients, including children, affected with cerebral palsy, development delay, stroke, spinal cord injuries and other conditions. Doctors here have been offering physiotherapy exercises and other rehabilitation treatment for patients. Besides Salem, the centre at the hospital has been catering to patients from Namakkal, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Kalakuruchi and a few other places. However, due to the pandemic, patients have been facing difficulties in reaching the hospital in person and undergoing treatment here. To ensure patients treatment is not affected during the pandemic, the hospital has launched tele-rehabilitation services through which they are trained in various exercises. About 30 patients are provided consultation through this at the moment.
