TDP leader and founder of Nikhila Kalisetti Charitable Trust, Kalisetti Appala Naidu, supplied oxygen cylinders to Primary Health Centres (PHCs) at Etcherla, Laveru, G. Sigadam and in Ranasthalam mandal to enable rural patients get treatment for COVID-19. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Appala Naidu said that doctors were given PPE kits to ensure their safety while treating COVID-19 patients. “We have been supplying oxygen cylinders to patients’ homes in some places as they were unable to travel due to other health problems. We will ensure refilling of oxygen if empty cylinders are given to us. An exclusive van with oxygen facility will crisscross all villages in four mandals,” said Mr. Appala Naidu.More Related News

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.
