Hundreds of patients suffering from tuberculosis can have tests in Srikakulam itself, thanks to establishment of TB testing centre in the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).
The patients were forced to travel to Visakhapatnam or Vizianagaram for advanced tests with the lack of facility locally. Srikakulam MP Kinjarapu Rammohan and Srikakulam MLA Gunda Lakshmi Devi inaugurated the testing centre in RIMS and directed the officials to maintain the equipment properly. Srikakulam Collector P. Lakshmi Narasimham explained the steps being taken for the overall development of RIMS at the district headquarters.
