Allergy clinic at Chest Hospital to be open on Saturdays too
The Hindu
Overwhelming response for the facility from patients
Owing to overwhelming response to its allergy clinic, the authorities of Government General and Chest Hospital at Erragadda have decided to run the clinic on Saturdays too. Till this week, it was open to people on Wednesdays only.
The allergy clinic was inaugurated on October 6. Primary reason for opening the facility clinic is high costs: tests for the allergies at private hospitals ranges around ₹ 10,000 to ₹ 15,000, and each injection for the treatment costs around ₹ 10,000. The total cost might range from a few thousands to lakhs of rupees. This would be offered free of cost at the government hospital.
Superintendent of the Chest Hospital Dr Mahaboob Khan said that they have expected around 50 people to consult the doctors in a day. “But 90 to 100 people are consulting us in a day. It takes 15-20 minutes to check on each patient. We have decided to keep the Allergy Clinic open on Saturdays too from next week. We have four to five doctors there,” said the superintendent.
