The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Government will introduce thrombolytic therapy for needy patients in all the public health centres across the State in a month’s time, YSR Aarogyasri Special Officer Dr. Yadala Ashok Babu said on Tuesday.
The government was keen on making cardiac care available to a majority of the people by making blood thinner medicines available in the 1,444 PHCs, including the 151 new ones set up by the State government, before referring them to empanelled super-specialty hospitals for advanced treatment under the health scheme, Dr. Ashok Babu told reporters on Tuesday. Fatal blood clots had increased post COVID-19, he added.
A kidney research centre would also be set up shortly to provide advanced medical care to chronic renal failure patients requiring dialysis in Prakasam district, he said.
