The State government has decided to set up three ‘rescue, treatment and rehabilitation centres’ (RTRCs) for wildlife in Coimbatore, Tiruchi and Tirunelveli districts. As a first step, a detail project report (DPR) will be prepared soon.
In an order, Environment and Forests Secretary Supriya Sahu said RTRCs would be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and trained staff to provide specialised treatment with operation theatres, laboratories and other essential diagnostic equipment. The centres will also train rescue teams.
Its objectives are to rescue injured, orphaned and sick wild animals, including those that stray into human habitations, and provide expertise and service for scientific quarantine, rehabilitation and release of wild animals in identified habitats. The centre will provide consultation and guidance to address man-animal conflicts. A DPR will be prepared in consultation with the experts and field teams.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
