PANCHKULA: After upgradation of the Sector 26 Polyclinic, the health department is planning to upgrade the Sector 20 dispensary and Sector 16 Urban Polyclinic keeping in mind population of the area. Chief medical officer (CMO) Dr Mukta Kumar said that both the Sector 20 Dispensary and Urban Polyclinic, Sector-16 have considerable population to cater to.
The CMO visited both the health facilities on Friday and took stock of the situation and seek suggestions from doctors working at both places. “A large population is living in Sector 20. Similarly, in Sector 16, two villages and nearby colonies fall under it and they require upgradation, which will help residents get facility near their place,” she said. She added that both facilities would be upgraded on the lines of the poly clinic in Sector 26, which would lessen the burden at Civil Hospital in Sector 6.
On July 27, CMO, Panchkula announced upgrade of the Sector 26 Poly Clinic and introduced operation theatre, tubectomy and various OPDs at the polyclinic to provide facilities like civil hospital in Sector 6 to trans-Ghaggar sector area residents.
The new facilities at the polyclinic include Gynae/Obs OPD every day, Medicine OPDe every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, eye OPD every Wednesday and Friday, ortho, pathology and bio-chemistry OPD every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Facilities available daily at the Sector 26 polyclinic in Sector 26 include normal delivery, general OPD, dental OPD, routine immunisation, Covid vaccination, covid sampling, lab investigation, DOT (TB) services and ART (AIDS) counselling.
