Although a large part of the year and available manpower was taken over by the treatment of COVID-19 patients, the Tiruchi Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital introduced Emergency Care and Rescue Centre (ECRC) and a post-natal depression counselling centre. C-sections were successfully performed on 466 COVID-19-positive pregnant women, while the newborns remained unaffected.
While all services at the GH had been suspended during the first wave of COVID-19, departments continued to treat patients during the second wave in May 2021. Apart from providing emergency care, doctors also performed the first live kidney transplant, implanted a dual-chambered pacemaker and got various high-end equipment to treat patients for free.
