Warangal: The diagnostic centres in Mulugu and Mahabubabad have started to offer services while the centre in Jangaon is yet to be inaugurated. After conducting the dry run from January 8 to June 8, the Telangana Diagnostic Centre at Mulugu was inaugurated on June 9. A total of 2,828 samples were collected and 7,136 tests were done and reports sent to patients. A total of 766 samples were rejected.

Nodal Officer Dr Seetha Ramaraju said that about 60 samples were collected every day after inauguration. “A special vehicle goes to primary health centres (PHCs) to get blood samples to the Mulugu government area hospital where the T- Diagnostic Centre is set up,” he added. “The centre is very helpful to the poor people living in remote parts of the district. They can go and give the blood samples at the nearby PHC to get the tests done,” Seetha Ramaraju said.
