Khammam: Telangana diagnostic hubs set up at district headquarters hospitals in Khammam and Kothagudem have proved to be a major boon for poorer sections in getting medical tests done.

The area covered by Khammam hub is divided into three routes through which the samples reach the hub every day by 2 pm and the test results are sent to concerned hospitals by evening hours, the Nodal Officer said adding ‘Everything is moving smoothly and greatly helping the rural people to get the medical tests done’.
